Much of Zope is written in C, thus compiled. There should be a deb for 2.3.0-4 at the very least for ppc under Deiban unstable (I installed this on my Mac/Linux laptop a few weeks ago). I know that the deb for i386 is now updated to 2.3.1-1, but I'm not sure how package maintainers ensure builds on all platforms on Debian (personally, I'd like to know, becuase I am planning on running Zope on Debian systems on both the intel and sparc platforms). Bottom line, you do need a platform specific deb, or get the source install and build it yourself.

dpkg : error package architecture (i386) does not match system (powerpc)

So python byte-code is NOT cross architecture?

According to the Python tutorial it is platform independent.
