a new installation on a brandnew hdd (well, some weeks ago, and i've run a few upgrades since then). i never manually remove anything i don't know what it means (and from all the tex-related stuff i haven't even the faintest spur of knowledge, hence wouldn't dare interefering). however, whenever i run an apt-get autoremove i always do it with the --purge option set. 

and how the presumably ancient version of jadetex could "invade" i simply cannot say.
