I perused through apt-zeroconf 0.5.1's source: it only uses function decorators, so it should work on Python 2.4 and 2.5 without modification.
I did notice that the Debian packaging requires Python 2.6 (I believe this is needless, but haven't looked into it in-depth), so the packages available from the PPA/etc will not work. Have you tried recompiling the packages on Intrepid? What errors do you actually get?
Function decorators were introduced in Python 2.4, while Python 2.6 introduced class decorators[0].
