Also, could  you please  remove zope2.12  from testing  as well  as it's
completely unuseable (#714339)?

zope2.12 should have been removed  only when zope2.13 package would have
reached the  archive (as there is  no currently no working  Zope package
available in the archive). For this reason and even though I should have
said something against  zope2.12 removal from unstable, I'm  still a bit
surprised  to see  that  python2.6  is still  available  in testing  and
especially  that python2.6  packages (such  as zope2.12)  are completely
broken  because some  basic python  packages (python-pkg-resources  with
python2.7  only  for  example)  were   migrated  to  testing  (too  soon
probably?). Is there any solution to avoid such breakage in the future?

Nonetheless, thanks Luca for pushing forward python2.6 removal!

Cheers,
