In my opinion, this is a no-go: with zope3, you can use the component
architecture also with plain python so part of those modules should stay in
the default python sys path.

I think actually the only one is actually python-zopeinterface. In the
future, this will be the more reasonable choice and upstream itself is
changing from a monolithic release to a bunch of python eggs, and we'll
have to follow them.

I don't think that moving back to /usr/lib/zope3 is the right choice,
especially now that upstream is going to split zope3 in a lot of small
libraries.

In the meanwhile, adding a conflicts between python-zodb and zope3 is the
quickest way to solve the issue. For lenny, we'll modularize the whole zope
package as upstream is planning.

Thanks for the report,
