Recently, the Debian packages for ksh93, pdksh, and zsh cooperated to provide alternatives for /bin/ksh. This was done without defining any exact requirements, so at the present time, it is de facto "the intersection of ksh93, pdksh, and zsh". Unless this bug is deemed release-critical (I doubt it will be), the upcoming Debian release will allow zsh to easily be /bin/ksh.
