Yes, sorry for that! teTeX 3.0 was released in February and we didn't
dare to upload into unstable, as
- we made some major changes to the packages (build system)
- we have an API change in the kpathsearch lib
- upstream made changes in the TDS, which requires an update of other
packages
. We will upload to unstable later this year, but this will be to
late for sarge (it is frozen anyway). The packages are available from
experimental, but other teTeX related packages may fail to work
correctly.
I'd say "unlucky release times of two seldom released software
packages". Sorry!
