I'm sorry, no.  The zope package appears to be in bad shape right now,
and requires the attention of a concerned maintainer, or it will not be
releasable with sarge; and that unfortunately means 51 other source
packages will have to be removed with it.

I don't particularly look forward to writing the hint to remove 52
packages from testing -- I'd much prefer that somebody step forward to
fix the one package at the root of the problem.  Thank you very much for
doing so.

One RC bug is still one too many, of course.  And the latest follow-up
=66rom Gregor on 222443 suggests that the bug is still present in the
current version of the package.  That leaves two should-be-trivial RC
bugs that need to be fixed.
