Fabio,

I'm wondering about the current zope-common and zope-dehelper
uploads to unstable (not experimental?).

- the changelog entries from the Ubuntu packages are removed.

- the packages are uploaded with the very same version name as the
  Ubuntu versions, but the contents differs. Ugly.
  The changes are not mentioned in the changelog.

- zope-debhelper was renamed to debhelper-zope. I don't care about
  that one, but there are no conflicts, no replaces.

- dh_installzope is incompatible with the version from
  zope-debhelper. This unnecessarily breaks packaging.

Just a quick glance over the packages. I'd better like to see these
packages in experimental or a staging area first. There is currently
no haste for putting these packages in unstable.

Martin and me did want to discuss some improvements for dzhandle at
Debconf, maybe we can have an IRC meeting before or at Debconf. There
is no haste. Would you mind canceling these uploads and redo them for
experimental, maybe already with the changes mentioned?

Thanks, Matthias
