What do you mean not much better. There is virtually no difference
between 4.3.17 and 5.0.0.
There is a 5.0.0 package in experimental. It's not in sid, because of
the current freeze in debian..

There is actually a team that looks after it. Visit #pkg-zsh on freenode
if you want to help.

There is no need to pull strings. 4.3.17-1 is in testing, so it will be
in the next stable release. And like I said, 4.3.17 and 5.0.0 is
practically the same code base. Don't think 5.0.0 is something different
because of the major release; you would be wrong.
