zope 2.7 is happily rotating its logs for my web site, since it was installed 
some months ago

The problem with log rotation in zope 2.6 is not exactly with  /etc/logrotate.d/zope
The problem is that zope 2.6 has some bugs, and the latest changes in
 /etc/logrotate.d/zope try to cope with that.
Zope 2.7 has a perfect call '<instance>/bin/zopectl logreopen'  that does the job.

you have found two bugs at once 
1) The above upgrading-path does not stop old zope.
 I think that apt does the right thing : it deconfigures zope 2.6 
 (and then stops it) before  deleting zopectl 
2) a problem with postinst; please add '|| true' after  'find .... | xargs rm'
 in /var/lib/dpkg/info/zope.postinst
 and retry, and tell me
