Honestly it might be easier it we kept it as zlib to avoid the whole replaces bullshit

edit: yup no longer renaming it as i managed to nuke libz.so from my system in testing due to replaces bullshit.

We could package it as zlib-ng, but keep zlib but make it an empty shell where zlib has a rundep on zlib-ng, zlib-devel has a rundep on zlib-ng-devel, etc. This would avoid breaking existing systems however packages would be transitioned over to having a rundep on zlib-ng as they were rebuilt for other reasons.

At the very end of this process we would be able to remove the zlib packages and add the replaces field to zlib-ng.
