Looks like, at least for zope.interface, Gediminas is way ahead of me:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-zope-developers/2013-May/008563.html

Alioth's svn looks ready to go for 4.0.5-1.  I only added a get-orig-source
target to repack the .zip, but that's mostly unimportant for this particular
issue.

The last message in that thread was 15-May, so it seems like maybe
zope.interface, if not more of zope.* is just waiting for uploads (something
that I can't *quite* help with yet ;).
