Thomas has delivered out 2.0.2 with 1.2 and I'm not sure if it makes

on 1.2 or later(!).

Exactly. Thomas continues releasing beta releases for the upcoming
teTeX 3.0 since beginning of February. At this time we thought it
will take just a few month, but... For some reasons we won't upload
to unstable but rather to experimental as soon as it is released.
