I don't believe Debian packages are allowed to bundle packages that are also
available in the archive. We've been fighting this bundling ("vendorizing")
issue in several other packages and often have to go through lots of hoops to
unbundled (or "devendorize"). Look at python-pip for a particularly painful
example of this.
I certainly understand the motivation of upstreams for wanting to bundle. But
IMO integration is job of distro packagers, so we try to do it correctly. I
really don't know the details of zope bundling (and really don't want to ;).
