Robert, could this be merged? This is small, self-contained and it should be trivial to verify that things still work afterwards.
Also, it makes people happy if their input has an effect...

Title:
  zlib dependency can be satisfied without .pc file

Status in Simple Scan:
  Triaged
Status in Gentoo Linux:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I updated the simple-scan ebuild for Gentoo:

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336900

  and found that simple-scan depends on a version of zlib with a .pc
  file (version 1.2.5, I believe, which is currently marked as unstable
  in Gentoo). However, then I discovered that Debian has a patch that
  drops this requirement to zlib 1.2.3 (maybe less), which is marked as
  stable in Gentoo:

  http://packages.debian.org/experimental/simple-scan

  I am not sure if you want this patch merged upstream, as Ubuntu has
  the most recent version of zlib, but attaching the Debian patch so
  that you can comment.
