In fact in /usr/local I have a directory /usr/local/sage/ containing various sage builds, as well as a symlink /usr/local/sage/sage-current pointing to the latest (current) one, so all I would need to do would be (once and for all) replace /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/sagetex/sagetex/sty with a symlink to /usr/local/sage/sage-current/local/share/sage-current/local/share/texmf/tex/generic/sagetex/sagetex.sty. I think that would work -- I do the same with /usr/local/bin/sage being a symlink to /usr/local/sage/sage-current/sage.
