Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on amd64.


Relevant part (hopefully):
> checking for getspnam... yes
> checking for library containing basename... none required
> checking for zlib.h... yes
> checking for deflate in -lz... yes
> checking for possibly buggy zlib... yes
> configure: error: *** zlib too old - check config.log ***
> Your reported zlib version has known security problems.  It's possible your
> vendor has fixed these problems without changing the version number.  If you
> are sure this is the case, you can disable the check by running
> "./configure --without-zlib-version-check".
> If you are in doubt, upgrade zlib to version 1.2.3 or greater.
> See http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ for details.
> 	cd debian/build-deb-ssh1 && tail -v -n \+0 config.log
