Better yet: Copy=20

   /usr/share/zsh/functions/Prompts/prompt_fade_setup

to

   /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/prompt_fade_setup

And put the fix into that file. On debian,
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions is the first entry in $fpath and
thus entries from it will override any other files. Therefore a file in
there would survive package upgrades as well.
