Please expand “LRU”.

Both synopsis and description could be improved.  The synopsis is better
than the description.  The fact that “Zope technologies” are used does
not describe the package.

I don’t think this is needed.

There is no such license.  You could use “license:non-copyleft” here
with “http://repoze.org/license.html” as the argument.

This is really convoluted for no obvious gain.  Why did you choose this
over:

  (define-public python2-repoze-lru
    (package-with-python2 python-repoze-lru))

?
