I don't think we've defined what "the egg-version of Zope 3.4.0" means
(nor do I think we need to as part of a classic zpkg-based Zope
3.4.0).

The 'and have "3.4.0" as their version number' I consider a non-goal.

Are you suggesting the satellites would have this dependency?  If so,
-1.  If not, and this is just used as a way of collecting the eggs, I
think this isn't valuable, and hence is a decoy.
