 Sorry, but I am not sure what you are trying to tell here. Since 3.0 is
 in unstable, we can't easily provide a fixed 2.0.2 package for testing,

 Hmm... yes. (I've not checked, but if stable (sarge) has the same
 problem when installing the packages in some order, shouldn't it
 be fixed in this case?)

The texinfo problem doesn't exist in stable, which has 4.7.  And if the
problem existed in stable, it would not be fixed, either, since no
updates to stable are allowed except security updates.

 even if we had the manpower to do so. We can only try to offer
 workarounds. In your case, I think it would be best to uninstall jadetex
 and texinfo. After that, update to teTeX 3.0 from unstable, which works
 fine if jadetex is not present. After that, reinstall jadetex and
 texinfo. HTH.

 If I want to do this, I need to remove the packages that depend
 on jadetex too. 

Of course it's just a workaround, you would have to reinstall them
again.  But a fixed package will be available soon.

 And there's also the problem with xmltex.

In the mail where you reported this, the error message is:

Error: `tex -ini  -jobname=xmltex -progname=xmltex latex xmltex.ini' failed

However, when I install xmltex on a system with tetex-2.0.2 (e.g. on
sarge), the message is

running `etex -ini   -jobname=xmltex -progname=xmltex latex xmltex.ini' ...

which is successful.  The difference is that on your system, tex is used
instead of etex.  Could it be that you have changed or refused an update
of xmltex's configuration files?

I didn't change xmltex's configuration file, and IIRC, didn't refuse
updates of configuration files. But I installed it a long time ago,
so I don't remember everything. One problem is that configuration
file updates are disabled by default, and I may have chosen the
default answer by mistake during an upgrade.
