In a default grokproject installation (with 'classic'
zope.pagetemplate, no chameleon) I see that page templates are always
reloaded, no matter whether I use the deploy.ini or debug.ini
configuration:

http://zope3.pov.lt/trac/browser/zope.pagetemplate/trunk/src/zope/pagetemplate/pagetemplatefile.py#L91

The developers of z3c.pt must have seen the same issue. The changelog [1] says:

"""Make debug mode setting explicit in a config.py. Currently it is
bound to Python's __debug__, which is False when run with -O and
otherwise True."""

I remember that reloading of page templates was once tied to the
developermode in zope.app.appsetup. Or do I remember incorrectly?

Is it OK to let megrok.chameleon depend on zope.app.appsetup? I have my doubts.
