I'm using 2.3.2 (rebuilt from sid sources) on potato, and at least
I've managed to get both PIL and the Photo product (0-4-3,
http://www.zope.org/Members/Drew/Photo) working this afternoon. No
trouble at all, and I've not yet installed Drew's PhotoAlbum .zexp

Relevant products: zope 2.3.2-2
(http://www.cae.tntech.edu/~mwr/zope_2.3.2-2_i386.deb),
task-python-web 1.2 (meta-package for installing Zope, python-imaging
aka PIL, etc.)

Evidence:

So that's not explicit instructions, but it can be done. Email me
off-list if you can't reproduce it.
