Wrong. It is different.

In the postinst of tetex-bin 'texconfig init' is called. This calls
texlinks which creates these missing links. But they don't get removed
when the package is purged, because they are not in the package
list. This caused #57756. #62018 might have come through an
installation problem as indicated earlier.

Anyway, I will put the missing links into the package, so that they
are in the package list and searchable via dpkg -S and get removed on
purge. But is no important error.
