'Releases/Zope' is a symlink to the "real" the top-level Zope stuff,
which is in 'Zope'; the various bits in 'lib/python' are symlinked in
from 'Packages', while the products come from 'Products'.

Mostly, you shouldn't care about it;  working in a checkout which
stitches all that together does the Right Thing (TM), except that
one occasionally sees artifacts like the one which piqued your
interest.
