Hey Brian,

The problem is, that Zope eggs aren't backwards compatible. Or, the
other way around, Zope2 releases depend on a very particular version of
Python Zope eggs. Thus I'm not sure what can be done in order to use
python-zope.* packages by Zope2 packages.

We're currently coordinating an IRC meeting about packaging Zope2.12+
for Debian. Maybe you would like to join?

I just set up a Wiki page for that meeting:

greetings,
