i googled but didnt find any solution.
You don't want zeemote - that's the driver for an actual zeemote (cf. zeemote.com)

You want to get wiicontrol - its also in extras devel. I'm not going to give a disclaimer because you've obviously seen it!

Once you've installed wiicontrol (some people report it asking for python - if it does, install a python editor from maemo extras), you may need to edit the wiicontrol file to change key mappings (or to view them full stop)... Am happy to post instructions of how to do that if needs be.

It involes the lovely sudo gainroot command though!

Once you've got it all installed, make sure bluetooth is on before you start wiicontrol, and you'll need to have started the wiimote searching before you start the prog too. It should then find it.
