Yes, and no and erm.

They are in /etc, so they'll have to be configuration files, I guess.
But then they will remain when jadetex is removed, but not purged.

Suggested solution:

fmtutil should only read files whose names are of the form

[0-9][0-9][A-Za-z0-9]+

Then on removal, jadetex should move its fmtutil files to something
like 05jadetex.ignore.  On install, if such a file exists, it is moved
to 05jadetex, otherwise 05jadetex is created by the postinst.
