I see that you already uploaded them. But I added more today, sorry!
Those are the last packages needed for schooltool.

Also I have deleted packages that made it to the archive from the PPA.

There was a python-z3c native package, but I decided to have less
source packages and folded it into z3c.form

All the Zope dependencies are uploaded to the PPA and on their way to
universe. Thank you for making this happen!

Next, there is some work on schooltool upstream:
- have a sane name for default configuration (currently
schooltool.stapp2008fall !)
- use paster to run the developer instances, and/or improve
start-schooltool-instance script so that it can be used in upstart
- use free fonts (ttf-liberation) in generated PDF files. Currently
Arial and Times New Roman (from msttcorefonts) are hardcoded.

On the packaging side:
- Merge schooltool-common and schooltool-2009 into schooltool source
package that will make two binary packages: python-schooltool and
schooltool
- Convert the init.d script to upstart
- Write an apport hook

After the names are fixed I will be able to upload schooltool. Then I
will probably need help with upstart.
