I don't know whether they were there at one time, but it doesn't look like they
are anymore. Root's dotfiles are copied in from /usr/share/base-files by the
base-files package, and as of at least version 2.2.10 (potato), those aliases
are not present. I don't see any entries in the changelog about removing any
aliases.
I don't have any systems older than potato to check; I suppose you could
download and unpack older .debs if you wanted to find out.
