Well, the summary  is given above. Basically, it  initially started with
the intent to fix these serious  bugs[0]. On IRC, we just discussed what
products are currently used by Jonas  and Gaël (e.g.  developers who are
currently  interested in  having  Zope2 available  again  in Debian  and
actively using Zope2).

Also,  some packages  are almost  never  used outside  of plone  (namely
zope-ploneformgen,    zope-scriptablefields,    zope-atextensions    and
zope-cmfbibliographyat as they require archetypes AFAIR).

I think that's all...

Well, if  it targets medical  care, then it  would perhaps be  better if
someone from the  Debian Med project would take care  of that, isn't it?
(CC'ing  debian-med  mailing  list  in  hoping  that  someone  would  be
interested in this package ;))
