Sounds good. I plan to set a removal hint for all zope version smaller
than 2.10. That only will take effect, if none other package is reverse
depending on eg. zope2.9. In other words: as long as there are still
packages depending on 2.9 the package will stay in testing.

zobel at ries:~% dak rm -R -n -stesting zope2.9
Working... done.
Will remove the following packages from testing:

   zope2.9 |    2.9.7-3 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
zope2.9-sandbox |    2.9.7-3 | all

Maintainer: Debian/Ubuntu Zope Team <pkg-zope-developers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
