I assumed that the chances for any Zope 2 products inside Debian would
be very low.  Any summary of the discussion available?

Thanks for the CC.  Regarding zope-zms the situation is as follows:  It
always had a very low popcon value (which might be the case for several
Zope products for sure).  I was using it at some point in time but this
was > 5 years ago.  I currently do not use Zope any more and do not even
have a Zope installation on my boxes - so testing would take me more
time than I'm able to spend.  I do not feel comfortable to simply build
a lintian clean package which might work or not.  So if somebody would
volunteer to take over zope-cms this would be nice from a Debian Med
perspective (because zms is targeting at medical care).  I can confirm
that I consider CMS as a high quality product which is actively
maintained.  If somebody would be willing to take over some packaging
guidance and sponsoring for some upstream developer it might be feasible
to keep it inside Debian.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
