The message is correct. those packages do not work with the default  
teTeX2 distribution, because thei are already included in teTeX2, or  
explicitly depends on teTeX1.
After a discussion with jlam, we agreed that it does not harm to fail  
in this case, instead of relying on some magic to install teTeX1  
(this was the case with previous versions of latex.mk).
Is it a problem ?
In this case, we could re-introduce the USE_TETEX1 variable and make  
it override the TEX_DEFAULT value to TEX_DEFAULT=teTeX1. From a use  
point of view, i don't really like it: having immediately an error  
message like that is more informative. In this case, i know that i  
will have to tweak the default (well, the message could be more  
explicit). If it select teTeX1 automatically, you will end with  
teTeX1 packages installed, and that will make a lot o other tex  
packages to fail.

I don't know if we can keep the current behavior while having those  
package been built by bulk build, to get some testing.
