There was not much progress, the scripts[0] I wrote won't
work anymore, since they depend on BackTalk which was removed
from Debian a while ago... the "stable" upstream version of
zope-book is a reference for the ancient zope 2.6 and the
zope-book for zope 2.7 is still beeing worked on.
So, to be honest, I've lost interest in zope-book packaging
altogether and would recommend to remove it from Debian,
since it's almost outdated now[1].

Cheers,
Igor

[0]: i.e. scripts that download zope-book STX sources
     and convert STX to HTML (ignoring user comments)
[1]: and certainly will be not of much use when zope2.10
     will become the default zope version, the only useful
     part of it is probably the TAL reference
