Works fine here (I just installed it, no recompile or anything), only
that dpkg said that installing 2.7.2-1 would downgrade the currently
installed 2.7.2-0-3...

BTW, why do we have to struggle with bad code in
/usr/share/zope2.7/bin/mkzopeinstance again and again?
I see a lot of your comments there. Maybe it would be better
to write our own "instance creators"?
I tried to mimic the script above by a shell script reusing parts
of if where additional tools would be required (e.g. a bas64
encoder for the inituser file) or where I though I would be
reinventing the wheel rather then improve things (e.g. I reused
the copyzopeskel module). If anyone wants to have a look, it's at
