The dependancies are correct, I haven't tested squishdot on zope2.7
before, so it depends on zope. However zope is actually zope2.6.4
in sarge, the Provides line in zope2.7 is misleading since zope is
not a virtual package (yet).

I just tested squishdot with zope2.7, it looks pretty good, so
I'm going to add zope|zope2.7 dependancy as long as zope isn't a real
virtual package.

Thanks for reporting!
