Is this really a wishlist item? I see it as a bug that needs to be
resolved asap.

The dependency on the full zope3 service is entirely unnecessary. As it
is, our packages attach an incredible amount of bloat on Gaphor's
behalf. Installing it from the repository also installs a VERY
significant application that starts up at runlevel 2, rendering this
great UML tool extremely difficult to recommend. Gaphor does not
actually need Zope3 the service, and there is very little association
between a user who installs Gaphor and a user who wants to use Zope.

(By the way, it is possible to disable Zope3 in Administration ->
Services for the time being).

I believe this could be resolved by Gaphor's dependency on zope3 being
changed to python-zopeinterface, since it just needs the Zope component
and interface libraries. I am not in front of an Ubuntu machine to test
that right now, but doing some scary dpkg --force-all type stuff should
give the necessary confirmation within minutes if anyone feels like
sacrificing their package system.
