I agree that it shouldn't go in zope.app. I believe I suggested
putting this in zc.openid, although I'm fine with zope.openid.
Placement is more a function of project or originating organization,
rather than dependencies. The top-level package is determined by the
project/organization. Normally, there should be only 2 levels of
packages. (I screwed up with the zc.recipes package, for example.)
