Hi!

While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc2
version we found that boinc failed to build from source:
https://debusine.debian.net/debian/r-python-python3.15/artifact/4856087/

 From the log, the error seems to be:

   make[2]: Entering directory
'/build/reproducible-path/boinc-8.2.15+dfsg/samples/wrapper'
   g++ -g -O2 [...]  ../../zip/libboinc_zip.a -lzip -lz
   /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: cannot find -lzip: No such file or
directory
   /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: have you installed the static
version of the zip library ?
   collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

So building samples/wrapper fails with 'cannot find -lzip'.

This is not failing in the buildds or in reproducible builds, because
these samples are only built when ENABLE_SERVER_TEST is set, and that
variable is only set when the changelog distribution is experimental or
UNRELEASED.
