JFYR: I just talked to upstream of newsbeuter, Andreas would ship
the zsh completion file directly via his upstream tar.gz (through
something like the contrib directory). Maybe Andreas can help us in
finding an elegant solution regarding this configuration file issue
you are talking about as well. :)
