This is unforeseeable without someone stepping up to do the work.

It is, IMO.

I'm not even sure of the quality of the zope 2 package in debian. A
couple developers recently started taking over the packages and fixing
them up. I'm sure their doing a good job (and I hope they keep it
up), but I don't know how close to "done" they are (ie things may
change or be reorganized, or you might deviate sufficiently that it
would be easier to work from the zope.org source).

Don't wait, unless you're the one to do the packaging work.

As Andreas pointed out, it is really quite simple and not a nightmare.
Furthermore, if you want to have some help from the packaging system,
create a dummy package using 'equivs' to depend on the system
components your z3 application will need.
