"dpkg -L zsh | fgrep zshenv" yields nothing for me and I did a few
upgrades from 4.3.17-1 to 5.0.2-3 and never run into that.

So I suspect it only happens on upgrades plus some other not yet clear
circumstances.

I also wonder if it may be related to these piuparts failures:

0m57.4s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot:

Could it be related to this? I.e. that these upgrade issues only
happen if some of /etc/zsh/z* were changed before the upgrade?

Will check. Thanks for the report.
