Hello Frank, Hello Daniel, nice to see Zsh is actively maintained in Debian. ;)
Merely i was referring that the intention of the original patch as i understand was to make the whole pattern case-insensitive, not only the first part of it. Just documented public in the bug report for other interested readers. I have no strong opinion on whether or not this actually makes it in the official Debian package. That being said...

I fully agree on all of this especially the part about keyboard setup. Which is certainly not an easy task for newcomers. Regarding the original request i think the options are: 1) as mentioned make upstream include it. 2) Include commented parts in debian stock /etc/zsh*. IMHO the file /etc/inputrc is a good example for this. 3) Factor out a "zsh-debian-extras" package. kind regards, Thilo
