None of this has anything to do with package organization. The Zope 3
Zope package is purely a container package to give Zope project packages
their own namespace so that they can have readable names that don't conflict
with meaningful names from other projects that you might want to use in the
same package.  It's just as easy to use Zope.PageTemplate outside of Zope
as it is to use PageTemplate.
