Hi Axel,

thank you very much for taking this! Your question about "how the zshrc will 
be provided" is so common that I proposed a general solution:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/soc-coordination/2012-
February/001156.html

In short and for the start I'd say: just put the files under /usr/share/grml-
zsh-config and provide a shell script that adds the necessary symlinks from my 
current homedir. It's already a big improvement to have the files in the 
archive and to get updates.

Once there is a canonical location for grml-zsh-config I already have my first 
wishlist items:

- Integrate vcsh into the prompt

- make it configurable whether the name of the VCS is shown. I use git 
exclusively so I'm just interested in the branch name.

Beste Grüße, Thomas
