Never say never.  The problem with debian is the former zope
maintainers are no longer maintaining the packages and only very
recently has a replacement stepped up to update the packages and
resolve the outstanding issues.  The current situation is filled with
bit-rot, but before that began the packages were just fine.  It would
seem, too, that the bit-rot will recede in the near future.  In the
meantime, I would recommend using the upstream source for
installation.

?? bit-rot?

As I said, if you install zope27 you get a message what to do next to
get the instance up and running. The same with plone. The only
drawback at the moment is, that you need to change the zope.conf to
get some packages to work with zope27. This will probably change when
Debian finally drops zope26 (I don't understand why they keep it
anyway...)

 I know I have to set up a new Plone site (obviously using the Zope interface

 Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you did an 'apt-get install plone' it's still trying to pull in
Zope 2.6.  What I ended up doing was to uninstall plone and then
'apt-get install zope2.7', create my default instance w/
mkzopeinstance.py (installed to /var/lib/zope2.7/instance/default) and
then just dropped the Plone, etc packages into my
/instances/default/Producs folder.

That's not correct, current Plone will favor zope27 over zope package,
you can see that in the dependecies. However, the Plone Product(s)
will still be installed in a path where the old Zope2.6 will find it
and thus are not automatically seen by Zope2.7. Anyway, how this can
be changed and how to setup the 2.7 zope is explained via
debconf-pages during the installation of zope27 and plone and even
when you disable debconf, you can still do RTFM in
/usr/share/doc/(zope|plone). I tried it lately and it took about 5
Minutes to get both zope27 and plone up and running (including
installtion via apt-get).
