This bug is caused by /usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/latex/cyrillic/t2aenc.def (If your tex is teTeX)
or /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/cyrillic/t2aenc.def (if your tex is TexLive)
just apply the patch given on:

to make jadetex installable,. You may revert it after installation.

I cannot reproduce the error with `schroot -c gutsy -u root apt-get install jadetex` (for gutsy minimal chroot updated yesterday). Are you still able to reproduce it?

I did an installation of jadetex on feisty (with only feisty and feisty-security repos) when dealing with bug #122863. The installation was successful without any problems.

The bug was reported before final feisty release. So maybe it's fixed in the final release?

(The link and patch Gongyi gave don't mean much IMHO. They are from 2000, about jadetex 2.18 (feisty has 3.13) and teTeX 1.0 (feisty has 3.0) on Debian woody, after all.)
