Hi Soren, thanks for your report.

First of all, I adjusted the severity of the report because the package
is installable in a clean testing/unstable environment, and we are not
going to support upgrade from plone-site (based on zope2.8) and the
actual version of plone-site because the former wasn't included in
sarge.

Now, let's go ahead.

I suspect you are still looking at the zope2.8 instance which
(obviously) will be broken by the upgrade. Everything starts with a
Zope2.8 plone-site instance, then you upgrade plone-site which does:

1. upgrade all the zope-* packages to be compatible with Plone 2.5
2. install zope2.9 (because Plone 2.5 requires it)
3. create a new plone-site instance for zope2.9 
4. leave untouched the old zope2.8-based plone-site instance.

Yeah, I could remove the old zope2.8-based plone-instance but this would
mean data-loss; an automatic migration between zope2.8 and zope2.9 is
not supported, so there are no other solutions.

Could you please confirm me that you are looking at the zope2.9
instance? And, please, could you attach to your bug report the list of
zope packages installed (something like `dpkg -l | grep zope` is
enough).

Thanks,
