Indeed. There are only two packages which build-depend on zsh in
Debian, but they build-depend on the package "zsh", not on
"zsh-dev" (found with "ara build-depends:/zsh/"):

draai - Command-line music player for MPD
zshdb - debugger for Z-Shell scripts

I assume it's rather their test suite which depends on
zsh than a compile-time dependency.

I wasn't aware that such an issue exists. I'd be happy if you could
write a Debian bug report about that (maybe with a little bit more
details about what you expect). That way we don't bother this list
with Debian-specific packaging issues and keeping track of that issue
will be easier in Debian. (If you're not familiar with Debian's bug
reporting, I'm happy to create the bug report for you.)

	Regards, Axel (with his Debian Zsh Team hat on :-)
