A minor request (from a packager's POV): Could you tag a version on
it, that would be higher than 2.0.2 but lower than the one you'd like
the teTeX's next release to be (no need to change the file names
above, it would be enough to post it here)?

For example, if you are targeting teTeX 2.1.0, could the beta series
be versioned like 2.0.99.20030228? 2.1.0beta or ~pre cause problems
with the internal package managers' sorting algorithms and 20030228
alone as a version is interpreted as the major part of the version.
