Dunny where this comes from. pdftex should be in in /usr/bin. Could
you check that?

Jadetex still uses Knuth-TeX to generate the formats. Further it
seems to check firstly, if the LaTeX format is present. Unfortunately
the Knuth-TeX engine founds the format to be generated by e-TeX and
bombs out. Changing the engine used by jadetex to e-TeX should fix
that problem. Change the file /etc/texmf/fmt.d/*jade* at the
appropriate place, run update-fmtutil and try again.
This bug has to be swapped over to jadetex as soon as teTeX 3.0 was
uploaded to unstable. See #298437.

Here seems to be missing something.
