Indeed, that's because of python2.6 removal transition. zope2.12 which
requires python2.6 (and will probably only work properly with this
specific version) packages has been removed from unstable because of
that.
I uploaded zope2.13 (which works with python2.7) one month ago but it is
still in NEW[0]. Needless to say that it is really unfortunate that
zope2.12 has been removed quickly from unstable but zope2.13 has been
staying for one month in NEW, thus providing no installable/useable Zope
package from the official archive.
In the meantime, you can use zope2.13 packages from there:
http://people.debian.org/~arnau/packages/zope2.13-sandbox_2.13.20-1_all.deb
http://people.debian.org/~arnau/packages/zope2.13_2.13.20-1_amd64.deb
I will request the removal of zope2.12 package from testing because, as
you pointed out, it is unusable anyway. Sorry about the inconvenience.
Cheers,
