Debian's package of xine in Woody uses the Woody versions of libc6,
zlib1g, and zlib1g-dev.

Don't forget to include:
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
Then occasionally do an apt-get update and upgrade any packages that
need it.

The zlibg version is current for unstable. zlibg-dev is the version in
Woody, and libc6 is the correct version for stable.

Just download (you might have to do that manually) zlib1g 1:1.1.4-1 and
install it with dpkg.

If your system were running unstable, zlib1g's dependancies would be
met.
