If upstream provides {foo}.zsh_completion file, how can I compare it
with zsh proper? Invoke `dpkg -L zsh-common|grep foo' and compare file
length? Or something more elaborate?

I suggest that, at least for now, you manually install the files to these paths. However, do note that some upstreams ship completion files that are inferior to those that ship with zsh itself. In such cases it would be desirable *not* to install the upstream's completion into the default fpath (`/usr/bin/zsh -fc 'typeset -p fpath'`). > In case of bash, dh_bash-completions ensures that everything is > automatically done in policy-compliant way. I'll leave it to others to comment on the idea of a dh_zsh-* helper. Cheers, Daniel

Not yet sure how this should look like either.
