I would be some cross compilers (or more correctly multiarch setups) are
broken in this regard. There was a time before I moved to 18.04 that I
couldn't have multiple zlib1g-dev packages installed due to clashing
files.

As risu accepts stdin/stdout for trace files you can work around this
with pipes and native gzip so a non-zlib enabled risu is still usable.
But I'm happy to defer to Peter on this one.
