Incorrect: Zope 2.12 is supported only on Python 2.5 / 2.6. The INSTALL.rst[1] file says: Prerequisites ------------- System requirements when building from source - A supported version of Python, including the development support if installed from system-level packages. Supported versions include: * 2.5.x, (x >= 4) * 2.6.x - Zope needs the Python ``zlib`` module to be importable. If you are building your own Python from source, please be sure that you have the headers installed which correspond to your system's ``zlib``. - A C compiler capable of building extension modules for your Python (gcc recommended). > This is not acceptable in Debian and > Ubuntu, and Zope 2 is right now the only stopper for the removal of > python2.4 from both Debian and Ubuntu. > > Even worse, the current stable Plone releases requires Zope 2.10, which we > suppose will never support anything but python2.4 in the foreseeable > future.

Plone 4.0 is slated be released this year, with an explicit goal of running on Zope 2.12 / Python 2.{5,6}][1]. > For this reason, together with the upstream suggestions to use the unified > installer and zc.buildout as primary tools for deploying Zope 2 and Plone, > the Debian/Ubuntu Zope Team decided to drop support for Zope 2, Plone and > all the other Zope 2 products.

In the short term, I would just update the existing packages to use Python 2.5, which is "known to work" with Zope 2.10.
