The second machine I tried (which I will not have access to until I go

Debian (and hence Ubuntu) only has TeXLive 2009. I don't really know why
they've had such trouble packaging a newer version, but in any case,
both Debian and Ubuntu package maintainers have utterly ignored my
requests to remove the extra files:

Now I have (following your instructions very carefully ;))
jec%ls -l /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/sagetex
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5807 Jun 21 2009 old-crappy-sagetex.sty
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10487 Jun 12 14:44 sage-5.0-sagetex.sty
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 12 14:44 sagetex.sty -> sage-5.0-sagetex.sty
and all is well!
Using the symlink and a versioned filename is a nice idea.
When you upgrade sage, though, it could go out of date and you'd have to
do it all over again manually. How about making that symbolic link
point directly to your Sage installation? That's what I have in my
local user tex path.
