Is there a smaller minimal set of packages that can be used to reproduce the
problem?

This looks like an apt bug to me (and isn't the first time I've seen it).
If we know zope2.7 is going to be removed in addition to python2.3, why is
zope2.7 not removed first, avoiding the need to --force-depends?

Does piuparts use apt-get or aptitude in its upgrade test, and does that
make a difference in the outcome?
