Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

No problem, it's a perfectly fine bug report, and you've included the
`upgrade-software-version`-tag :)

Normally newer package versions are synced automatically from Debian to
Ubuntu. This hasn't happened for zsh since it contains some Ubuntu-
specific changes (note the ubuntu-part in the version number
"5.2-5ubuntu1").

In some cases, the changes have been included in the newer version
either in Debian or upstream, then the package can be synced without
losing any changes. In other cases, the additional changes are still
needed and the package needs to be manually merged. When merging,
someone basically takes the latest package version from Debian and
reapply all the Ubuntu-specific changes.

I only briefly skimmed the Ubuntu-changes and the Debian changelog, but
it looks like this will need a merge. Thus, I've added the `needs-
debian-merge`-tag too.
