A real reson would be the following quote from the URL mentioned in
the copyright file:
As of version 2.3 of Zope, PythonMethods have been replaced by
Scripts. They will continue to work, but you should use Scripts instead.
---> This would be a reason to remove the package completely.

---> No reason to remove this.

---> Here we have an example of bad maintainance. According to
http://www.zope.org/Members/sspickle/ZCVSMixin
and a mail I just have send this product was replaced now by
ZCVSFolder. I regard this product as useful (you noticed I did
some QA work by contacting the upstream author to clarify the
name change) but as I said I have currently no time to
*maintain* the package. The current status of the package
does not fit *my* personal quality requirements so that I
would not upload it just with my email in the maintainer field.
> * #143009: zope-zieve should not release with woody
---> This is kind of a *famous* Zope product which is often mentioned in
the Zope user list. I have no personal interest in this product but
I would think that some users would be upset if it would completely
vanish.
> * #143030: smupsd should not release with woody
---> I did my statement according to this package which was introduced
and orphaned by myself. It is not a target for woody but I would
love to see it in Debian as long as it has some features other
UPS monitors do not have.
Kind regards
Andreas.
