As other have noted, the logs are in error. I've checked the log for
deb-gview in meld and the only difference in the two Depends line is:
zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)
zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1)

That is NOT a bug!!!

Whenever you build deb-gview, the version of the dependency will be the
version of zlib1g (and other libraries) currently in unstable. There is
nothing I can do about that, nor would I want to change that.

Please improve the detection of extra dependencies to cope with the
same dependency at a later version.
