I think upstream is already there:
    http://regebro.wordpress.com/2010/04/29/zope-interface-3-6-0-released-with-python-3-support/

The version in the ZTK 1.1 is 3.6.1:

We should definitely try.

I've been told that the dependency generation of dh_python2 gets out of
the way when van.pydeb is used. That should be all that is needed,
really.

(Well, that or dh_python2 supporting setuptools extras, which it may by
now)

It wasn't addressed to anyone in particular. I presume that Ubuntu has
been moving forward lately while Debian's been frozen.

I was just stating that I would, at some point and given time, have a
look at the difference and see what could be ported across.
