I just used the setup.py as always, and am reporting what's getting put 
into /usr/bin.

I don't understand about this zpkg thing yet.  I haven't found any 
explanation about what's wrong with distutils, or what it adds to 
distutils.  With my Debian packager's hat on, if I have to use zpkg to 
build and install zodb, that is a big headache.  It means that zpkg has 
to be packaged and in Debian itself.
