I originally intended to upload 2.12.3 to unstable today and then 
prepare 2.12.3-1~deb8u1, precisely to get more testing. Unfortunately, 
unstable moved on to GHC 7.8 right after the freeze ended, which 
introduced some backwards-incompatible changes causing ganeti 2.12 to 
FTBFS on sid. I know upstream is working on GHC 7.8 support, but it is 
not yet clear how long it will take and whether the fix will target 2.12 
or a later stable release. Not the best possible situation I have to 
admit.
