That's a reasonable solution. You could also have an ubuntu-specific
patch for zope.security in ubuntu.

Because uploading it means we become it's maintainers in Debian. This
package is high maintenance because you have to check if it's still
secure for every new python version that enters the archive:

That's not something I think we can commit to. (fabio?)

However, just because I don't want to package it doesn't mean we
or someone else shouldn't. I'd be perfectly happy with someone else
uploading it to Debian under their own name as maintainer.
