Try setting the environment variable SAGA_MLB prior to starting qgis. EG:
SAGA_MLB=/usr/lib/saga qgis
or
export SAGA_MLB=/usr/lib/saga
qgis

This is because you use an older version of SAGA than the version
sextante was build against.

You should try running the latest version of saga. I'll have a look if
I can bring it to the backports archive.In the mean time you can just
try to build the version from unstable yourself..Don't hesistate
contacting me if you have any troubles. There are quite some
advantages in the new version:
- export SAGA_MLB is no longer needed. You can still use it though if
you have custom build modules.
- many modules have changed syntax
- it is much better tested on linux
