use merulo.debian.org (to log into the sid chroot: dchroot sid)
If you want to reproduce it and help me building zope
Add /home/pmachard/bin/ to your $PATH (It is txt2man).

If you simply want to debug it. Catch the file zope-policy.sgml in zope
package, and run debiandoc2ps on it.

I am sure it does not come from debiadoc-sgml. If I build it by hand, I
succed when running elatex and failed when running latex.

Log into merulo. The sid chroot has been updated today. The only tweak
to have zope buildable is to install txt2html manualy.

Anyway in attachement you can find the full typescript.

Cheers,
