Why do you have tagged this bug report as being related to the Debian
Installer? Neither zsh is not does it contain any installer related
stuff.

Works fine for me:

# adduser abetest
$ su - abetest
$ zsh -l
This is the Z Shell configuration function for new users,
zsh-newuser-install.
You are seeing this message because you have no zsh startup files
(the files .zshenv, .zprofile, .zshrc, .zlogin in the directory
~).  This function can help you with a few settings that should
make your use of the shell easier.

You can:

(q)  Quit and do nothing.  The function will be run again next time.

(0)  Exit, creating the file ~/.zshrc containing just a comment.
     That will prevent this function being run again.

(1)  Continue to the main menu.

(2)  Populate your ~/.zshrc with the configuration recommended
     by the system administrator and exit (you will need to edit
     the file by hand, if so desired).

--- Type one of the keys in parentheses --- q
% 

Please check with "debsums -s zsh" (from the debsums package) if you
zsh package is completely installed or if files are missing.
