Adding zlib support in host-python just because dpkt includes itself in
its setup.py script is silly. If all packages do that, then we'll end
up adding cairo support in host-python, just because some Python module
relying on cairo includes itself in its setup.py script.

That said, if zlib support in host-python is needed for
host-setuputils, then it's a different story and zlib support can be
enabled in host-python. But I definitely don't want the host-python to
be cluttered with more and more things simply because some packages do
silly stuff in their setup.py.

Regards,

Thomas
