This came up just a little while ago. SageTeX was part of TeXLive for
just long enough to "infect" lots of Linux packages, and there's nothing
we can do about it except wait for new TeXLive packages that don't
include SageTeX to come out. It'll take years. :(
Fortunately, I think you can put sagetex.sty in your personal texmf tree
and TeX will use that version. You can also demand a particular version
of sagetex.sty in your LaTeX file:
\usepackage{sagetex}[2010/10/20]
or similar.
In the meantime, there's now a mechanism in SageTeX to detect version
mismatches, but that doesn't help with the above problem...
