It doesn't:

    # dpkg -i zsh-syntax-highlighting_0.4.0-2LOCAL.multiarch1_all.deb 
    Selecting previously unselected package zsh-syntax-highlighting.
    (Reading database ... 12567 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to unpack zsh-syntax-highlighting_0.4.0-2LOCAL.multiarch1_all.deb ...
    Unpacking zsh-syntax-highlighting (0.4.0-2LOCAL.multiarch1) ...
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of zsh-syntax-highlighting:
     zsh-syntax-highlighting depends on zsh:any.
    
    dpkg: error processing package zsh-syntax-highlighting (--install):
     dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     zsh-syntax-highlighting

Thanks for the heads up.  I'll fix this in z-sy-h if it isn't fixed in zsh.

Cheers,

Daniel
