So a modular packaging would have storm-zope-core and storm-zope-complete, and the latter being a virtual package that depends on whichever zope package contains zope.security and zope.component. > This point might be moot if Fedora hasn't packaged the modularised > Zope tree yet (it hasn't been fully packaged for Debian/Ubuntu). We have python-zope-interface and python-transaction .

Our Django packaging is currently monolithic, so Django comes with all the backends. but this strikes me as something that should be done by the user -- I'll make a note in a README.Fedora file.
