No problems to build with sbuild on i386. Furthermore, it is clear that
the problem with changed debconf defaults has nothing to do with the
FTBFS of zope - therefore I clone the bug, the zope issue is still grave.
This is why I know: When installing tetex-bin_2.0.2-19 with the "wrong"
settings discussed previously, i.e. with tetex-bin/fmtutil: false,
tetex-bin/upd_map: false, the output is as follows:
[...]
Creating config file /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf with new version
Generating /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf ...
Creating config file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf with new version
done
Running initex. This may take some time. ...

on the buildd's, e.g. on caballero (ia64),
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=zope&ver=2.6.4-1.2&arch=ia64&stamp=1093177931&file=log&as=raw
it looks different, indicating that the debconf questions are at their
new default, and fmtutil.cnf and updmap.cfg are created files:
[...]

This does no longer seem important, because I could build it with
2.0.2-19.
I really don't see any possibility to debug this, except somehow causing
the failing buildd's to build the package with "-v".
