Bug Description
Using the lp:mailman branch, this fails when the python-zc.buildout package is installed (i.e. buildout installed into your system Python):
% python bootstrap.py
% bin/buildout
...
Error: There is a version conflict.
We already have: zc.buildout 1.4.3
but zc.recipe.egg 1.3.2 requires 'zc.buildout>
Removing the package allows the buildout to succeed.

I was able to dupe and investigate.
zc.buildout itself is fine. The z3c.recipe. sphinxdoc and z3c.recipe.tag recipes need to be upgraded to use the new system-Python friendly script generation, and then the mailman build should be fine. I'll see if I can get that recipe upgraded for you, but for now, removing those parts from your buildout.cfg makes it work for me.
