This isn't as hard as I thought on IRC.

I think we could just

fpath+=( /foo/bar/baz )

in `/etc/zsh/zshenv'.

Because that file is sourced for *every* zsh instance that's ever
started (except if zsh is invoked in sh-mode - but then sh-mode is so
different that I don't care).

We just need to decide what "/foo/bar/baz" is acceptable in terms of
debian policy etc. So, any comments or suggestions? ...my knowledgeable
debian-certified pkg-zsh colleagues? :-)

Regards, Frank
