This is a bug in sextante, I've clarified this again in the bugtracker.

Ok, i'll fix this. I thought 2.0.8  was there for 12.04 already. Someone
should have told me earlier it was missing. I got confused by all these
ubuntu releases. Note that from 12.10 saga is in universe (ie ubuntu
itself), so adding it again to ubuntugis is not necessary[*], which is the
reason I stopped making updates.


[*] In fact adding saga could be considered to make sure that it is build
against eg a newer version of gdal, but it will not change saga's core
functionality.
