+Load-path for functions from other packages
+-------------------------------------------
+
+In respsonse to #620452, the zsh-binary from Debian's zsh package started to
+provide two entries to $fpath (the search path for loadable functions) for
+other packages to drop function files into:
+
+  - /usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions for functions that add functionality to
+    zsh's function based completion system (compsys)
+
+  - /usr/share/zsh/vendor-functions for all other functions
+
+If you maintain another Debian package that wants to add functions to zsh's
+function load-path, please use the those conventions when installing function
+files.
