That file doesn't say #autoload or #compdef  in the first line...

... which is a good thing, because it sets a zstyle, possibly overriding
styles set in the user's zshrc.  _git-extras needs to find another way
to communicate to core's _git which extra git subcommands it provides.

I was inspecting the sid package 4.4.0-1.
