I guess they were supposed to give 1.2 some special treatment, probably because of the new Qt libraries, but apparently they never did get around to creating the fremantle-1.2 directory structure on the server.
Extras has a separate directory structure for 1.2, but neither -testing nor -devel do (nor were planned to), as they've no need to support both pre-1.2 and post-1.2.
