While I disagree with your point, ghostmirror now uses zlib-ng directly instead of zlib, so the end user is free to use zlib for all their other software. I think we can close this discussion since it's no longer a packaging issue.

It is up to the users to decide, this is Arch after all, it's all about choices. I use it myself. I just find it strange to enforce that choice so aggressively. If it's that good then maybe it'll become the default and replace the current zlib package.

The zlib-ng-compat dependency provides zlib; I chose this dependency for performance reasons. As of now, I see no reason not to use the zlib-ng-compat package directly instead of the old zlib; after all, ng is the new, more performant version. Since people continue to insist on using older packages, I've decided to integrate zlib-ng directly into ghostmirror.

Why does it explicitly depend on zlib-ng-compat? Afaik it doesn't offer new features, only optimizations for the end users.
