`colors' is actually a function not a script.

Yes, that is the general idea. But as you may know, zsh has a
bewildering set of options and other possible settings, that make it
hard to recognise, whether a chunk of code is sensitive to a certain set
of settings or not. So, occasionally issues such as this come up.

Yes, I'll probably commit either this or (more likely) a shorter patch
that uses "emulate -L zsh" on top of the function upstream tonight or
sometime tomorrow.

Patching the debian package may take a while longer, since we're still
working on a useful workflow for our VCS repository within the newly
formed debian zsh team.
