Maybe the short-term fix would be to add a shim package (reviving 'zope.app.dublincore', maybe) whose only job in life is to make those permissions loadable. Maybe the package ships with some code to help write the evolve script, or something. In the meanwhile, folks with persistent permissions should pin the version of zope.dublincore == 3.6.0.
