We have an unblock request (#687916) for 1:2.0.2+dfsg-4 with release team so 
we're waiting for their decision.

We still have some (fading) hope that 2.0.2 can be unblocked.
The situation is quite extraordinary: although Zabbix was staged in unstable 
too late to satisfy freeze policy, there were not a single bug reported since 
upload of 1:2.0.2+dfsg-4 ~114 days ago.

The problem will be gone if 2.0.2 will be allowed to migrate -- otherwise we 
will request removal of 1.8.11 from testing and upload to wheezy-backports.

Even if this particular problem could be easily fixed (which is not the case) 
there are some other security issues that make 1.8.11 unsuitable for release.
