Yes if they are shipped as real files.  But no if 10jadetex.cnf
is generated with postinst like (only for example);

cat > /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00jadetex.cnf << EOF
some stuffs
EOF

or

cp /usr/share/doc/jadetex/examples/00jadetex.cnf /etc/texmf/fmt.d/

or something appropriate way.

Then, I guess, jadetex can remove 00jadetex.cnf safely
on removal (with prerm perhaps).

I guess if 05jadetex is created by the postinst and not a
real file then it can be handled more simply as above.
