'Medium' might be too high (if anybody cares if it is low or medium):

I wrote in my initial mail:
| I don't use Ubuntu, but I assume that the file bash_command_not_found
| in the bzr repository is installed to /etc

Looks like this assumption was wrong:

<http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=_command_not_found&mode=&suite=xenial&arch=any>:
| You have searched for paths that end with _command_not_found in suite xenial, all sections, and all architectures. Found 1 results.
|
| File Packages
| /etc/zsh_command_not_found command-not-found
|

Hence, the actual bug only affects upstream, but not the Ubuntu package,
but Ubuntu would benefit from the minor zsh improvements.

Shipping (a fixed) bash_command_not_found in the source package and
providing it in the upstream repository is still useful, for example,
a sysadmin might disable command-not-found in the system wide
bash.bashrc and source /etc/bash_command_not_found if it exists in the
skeleton .bashrc.
