Andreas,
  There are two kinds of Zope products - those that reside in the file
system and those that reside in the Zope ZODB. Zope products that are
stored in the ZODB are also distributed as .zexp files.
  For example, we have converted OIO to a Zope product - it is now
distributed as a .zexp file. Still, I appreciate your suggestion because
the Debian package manager does not work with ZODB objects. It would be
helpful to find a general solution - perhaps a utility to help Debian work
with ZODB? Maybe a prompt to enter Zope manager username + password and
then the Debian script will query and modify Zope ZODB to
install/upgrade/remove Zope product packages? This type of utility might
use a web-client like wget to access Zope. What do you think?

Best regards,

Andrew
