Nginx 1.12.2 has then been released on October 17th, 2017 to squash a few bugs.
As a consequence, packages of Nginx 1.12.2 are now available for Debian 8 “Jessie” (with or without full HTTP2 support – see the instructions), on both amd64 and i386 architectures.
For more details about which modules are included in the different Nginx flavors (light, full and extras), just take a look at the configuration options in the Makefile.
