While I can't use the patch directly, the patch helps to make a proper
fix without using the alternatives system respectively removing the
alternatives without causing similar issues for usrmerge again. (I
else would have used the much cleaner debian/zsh.links instead.)

I have a half working package as of now, but I will need a few more
days for a proper package. Currently still open:

* Dummy wrapper for zsh5 and zsh5-static as done with zsh4* wrappers.
* Verify that resp. check if man pages symlinks zsh vs zsh5 are no
  more needed.
* Testing.

And -- as state before -- I definitely would like to first upload both
things (manual handling of the slave alternatives and removal of the
alternatives in general) first in experimental for some wider testing
before uploading any of that to unstable.
