You seem to have pinned sarge-backports to a priority of 900, at least
as far as tetex is concerned. Jadetex is not available in
sarge-backports and its sarge version does not work with the backported
(newer) tetex. You can try this:

apt-get install  docbook-utils jadetex tetex-bin/sarge tetex-extra/sarge tetex-base/sarge

or simply reduce the pin priority of sarge-backports to <500.
