Indeed. ;-)  But see below...

So far, only zlib is a target provider, so a host provider.

But when you add zlib-ng, selecting zlib-ng for the target will imply
zlib-ng for the host.

It sounds weird that the choice of a target package has an impact on the
host package.

Besides, if zlib is not enabled in the configuration, then there will be
no host variant either.

So, we want to do something similar to what was done for openssl: always
use one variant for the host (and I think we want it to be zlib, not
zlib-ng).

See for reference: 915a627f (openssl: unconditionally define
BR2_PACKAGE_PROVIDES_HOST_OPENSSL)

Yann E. MORIN.
