Filed upstream (@Debian) as this is sync'ed from there directly.

I am told (by Canonical support) although feature freeze was two months ago, .11 appears to be a bug feature release mostly, so it may still qualify to go in: http://www.zabbix.com/rn1.8.11.php

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

The package has been updated in Debian now.
