It depends on the way the FreeType package has been built.  Here's the
input file for freetype2.pc:

  address@hidden@
  address@hidden@
  address@hidden@
  address@hidden@

  Name: FreeType 2
  Description: A free, high-quality, and portable font engine.
  Version: @ft_version@
  Requires:
  Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype @LIBZ@ @FT2_EXTRA_LIBS@
  Cflags: -I${includedir}/freetype2 -I${includedir}

As you can see, if `LIBZ' is defined, it is added appropriately.  I
thus consider this a packaging problem of your distribution.
