It works fine, thanks. You can also use the -V option of jade to define this variable (this allows you to keep one stylesheet for TeX and RTF). My Makefile now has:

howto.tex: howto.db ../print.dsl
        jade -V tex-backend -t tex $(JADEFLAGS) \
                -d ../print.dsl \
                $(XML_DECL) howto.db
