I'll just reply to the relevant stuff. :)

You need a password for the emergency user, and the emergency user
is a super user of sorts, so setting a default for all Debian
installations would be horrible. Can you imagine how many zope sites
would pop up here and there with unchanged emergency user passwords?

This is a valid question if you mean "sarge", one which I cannot
answer. However, like you, I am maintaining Zope sites that run on
2.6 out of the box on woody. I would hate to be forced to replace
them with from-source installs when I upgrade, since any minute not
spent on migrating them to 2.8 is a waste.
Whether zope 2.6 will still be in etch is impossible to say right
now.

Sorry, but the Zope situation in sarge will not be significantly
better than it is now. Some work has been done, but I cannot see
anyone running a reasonable Zope site with just Debian packages
right now. We are going to work on this starting at debconf5, so if
you are interested in helping out, hop on over to pkg-zope on
alioth.
