In TDG you find generic instructions, which usually should be taken
care of by distribution packagers. In Debian I never (or at least not
in the last few years) had to set this var.

In Debian the (open)jade catalog files are properly registered into
the system - unless the package version you use is buggy, or if its
configuration did not complete successfully without you noticing.
What does `ospcat -P "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN"' say ?
What does openjade say when you set SGML_CATALOG_FILES to /etc/sgml/catalog instead ?
What do "jade" and "openjade1.3" say when you use them instead ?

That shall not work, it jade would only know about the handful of
pubids for his own files.
