libz1 package

[Doug Jolley <doug@footech.com>]

Hi --

I'm new to Debian.  Can anyone please tell me what the deal is
with the libz1 package?  It seems to be needed by quite a few
other packages.  Accordingly, I was surprised when I couldn't
find it on my distribution CDs.  I was even more surprised when
I couldn't find it in the packages section of the Debian web
site.  I'm sure I'm missing something pretty basic.

Thanks for any input.
