The libzmat1.so.1 library needs to link against libz.so too. Probably
this needs to be fixed upstream.

These precompiled binaries should be removed from the upstream source
repository and tarballs and always built from source at build time. If
upstream refuses to do that, you should remove them from the
orig.tar.gz before uploading your package. Using the Files-Excluded
feature of uscan is a reasonable way to achieve that.

The source package name should be the same as the upstream source
repository name (so zmat) and the binary package name should be named
after the SONAME of the library binary (so libzmat1).
