The Zope 2.6.4-1.1 package in testing and unstable depends on python2.2
(>=2.2.3).
Currently unstable has a zope2.7 (2.7.0-4) package. Looks like the zope
package maintainer is expecting a slow transition from 2.6 to 2.7, and
is expecting 2.6 to hang around for quite a while. That means python2.2
will have to hang around too, unless the zope package maintainer feels
comfortable about migrating 2.6 to python2.3.

Yeah... 2.2 to 2.3 was pretty trivial... anyone remember 1.6 to 2.0?
Assuming future transitions will be trivial would be unwise.
