You kinda do :) I understand what you are saying, but it is exposed as
the patch level.

$ cat /etc/debian_version
trixie/sid

$ echo $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL
debian/5.9-4+b4

Anyways the idea is to show this outside of $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL when running
zsh --version, as I think it might be handy for those who want it.

Cheers,
Wesley
