Ah, the stdout of fmtutil. Yes, we probably get closer. Yes, I have it
- there are at least two bugs, one in jadetex and one in
tex-common/TeXlive-Upstream.
You have texlive-lang-czechslovak installed, which provides a
fonttext.cfg that shadows LaTeX's fonttext.cfg. With that, I get the
same error you got (the only difference now is that you have much more
hyphenation patterns installed).
It happens that
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/cslatex/base/fonttext.cfg
sorts earlier than
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/fonttext.cfg
which it shouldn't. The problem is that jadetex is based on latex, but
progname is jadetex:
frank@sid:~$ kpsewhich -progname=latex fonttext.cfg
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/fonttext.cfg
frank@sid:~$ kpsewhich -progname=jadetex fonttext.cfg
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/cslatex/base/fonttext.cfg
Therefore, this patch should help:
-TEXINPUTS.jadetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{jadetex,plain,generic,}//
+TEXINPUTS.jadetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{jadetex,latex,plain,generic,}//
(this is the bug in jadetex). The other bug is in tex-common: It has
entries for the TEXINPUTS paths for the formats that are in separate
packages:
$ grep jadetex /etc/texmf/texmf.d/{1,4}5*
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/15Plain.cnf:TEXINPUTS.jadetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{jadetex,plain,generic,}//
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf:TEXINPUTS.pdfjadetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{jadetex,plain,generic,}//
The entry in 15Plain.cnf is completely wrong, since jadetex isn't
plain-based. This is also a bug in TeXLive upstream. I suggest to put
both formats to the "LaTeX2e specific formats" near cslatex and platex.
Furthermore, the jadetex package should drop the pdftex toplevel
directory, since it is never used.

P.S. I just found this one:
kdebug:start search(file=texmf.cnf, must_exist=1, find_all=1,
path=/usr/bin:/usr:/:/usr/bin/share/texmf-local/web2c:/usr
/share/texmf-local/web2c://share/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/bin/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/texmf-local/web2c://texmf-local/web2c
:/usr/bin/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texmf/web2c://share/texmf/web2c:/usr/bin/texmf/web2c:/usr/texmf/web2c://texmf/web
2c::/tmp/buildd/texlive-bin-2005.dfsg.1/build/inst/texmf/web2c:/tmp/buildd/texlive-bin-2005.dfsg.1/build/inst/texmf/web2
c).
It looks very wrong to me that the build directory is in the search path.
