Shell scripts.

32-bit statically linked version of "rmdir", you can of course recompile
it if you think it's worth the effort. Since Knoppix 6.7, it is not
needed anymore since the kernel-internal cgroup scheduler handles it,
i.e. you can safely remove it.

Why not leave them as they are?

Yes, in fact there are.
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
/etc/init.d/knoppix-startx
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45knoppix
are not packaged, in order to avoid automatic upgrades and dependency
problems with the Debian standard system.
Hope this helps.
