Not sure about that.

From what I understand, Zope2.12 depends on loads of Python Zope eggs,
and particular versions of them. See the list at
http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.12.9/versions.cfg for more
information. Several dependencies even have comments about incompatible
changes in more recent versions.

With the release of Zope2.13, the list of dependencies has significantly
decreased: http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.13.5/versions.cfg
Zope2.13 ships with, and depends on Zope Toolkit 1.0.

What are the plans about packaging ZTK for Debian? Do you intend to
package major ZTK versions (1.0, 1.1, ...) seperately for Debian? That
indeed would ease the packaging work for Zope2 Packages a lot, beginning
with Zope2.13.

greetings,
 jonas
