In fact there's no currently supported Zope 2 release that supports Python 2.5 (apart from the volunteer security support for 2.11/2.10 by some community members). And it's not only missing support claims, the code just doesn't work anymore in all cases. In all the hosting environments where we use Debian, we installed backports of Python 2.6. That's the price you pay for using a very stable distro for fast moving web stuff.
