This is a very long license -- it is better to include only the
disclaimer of GPL and refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2.

But why GPL is the main license of this package, while most of the
code is under ZPL? If you want only the packaging to be GPL, first
specify ZPL for all files and then GPL for the packaging, like this:

Files: *
Copyright: (C) 2001-2010 Zope Foundation and Contributors.
License: ZPL-2.1
 Zope Public License (ZPL) Version 2.1
 ...

Files: debian/*
Copyright: (C) 2010 WebLion Group <support at weblion.psu.edu>
License: GPL-2

I see you don't use the machine-readable copyright format, please look
at http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ . This format allows to easier
specify and understand different copyrights and licenses of any files.
For examples,

  $ grep '^Format-Specification: .*dep5' /usr/share/doc/*/copyright
