Why? It could still be removed with python2.6, if python2.6 will be removed.

I would not consider zope as a blocker at all. IMHO a packaged zope is
more or less useless as the zope community uses buildout and never
supported the Debian way of installing Zope applications.
Also zope2.13 is a new source package and zope2.12 could be removed
without blocking the itroduction of 2.13 by doing so. If really
necessary Zope 2.12 could be removed from testing and stick in a broken
state in unstable until its fixed.
