I think you overwrote the files in /usr/share/zope/Product/CMFUid:1.5

I have no idea how to solve this issue. 

The best way to experiment with new packages is to remove the directory
in /var/lib/zopeZVER/instance/INSTANCE/Product/THE_PRODUCT and to
replace it with a symlink to the product you want to test, but if you
have a better idea on how to integrate non-debian zope products within
the dzhandle infrastructure I could try to implement it.
