zope contains its own copy of zope-interface in /opt/zope-3/lib/python/zope/interface. The zope-interface package is a standalone package of the same files and is not used by zope at all.

Another thing: why is this package in /opt? Except for /usr/zopeskel which should be moved to either /usr/share/zope/zopeskel or /usr/lib/zope/zopeskel (the 2nd is what debian does), there's no reason to put zope in /opt. When installing to /usr, zope installs nicely in the /usr/lib/python2.4 and /usr/include/python2.4 directories.
Something that might be interesting: if we really want these standalone zope library packages, package them using python2.4 and make zope depend on it. There's several other things included in the zope package (twisted and pytz), which might be considered also.

One note about the standalone packages though: they have to be compiled with python24, and put in the python2.4 libdir. The problem with this is that python 2.6 applications can't use those modules then.

so there is no use for the zope-interface package if you have the zope package?
