Yes, that's the closest I could find, too.

These, too.

Having a script there really doesn't have any effect on whether or
not the directory can be NFS mountable, especially as the script
only formats a list of files into HTML, and the output of that
script goes into a file in /var/lib/texmf.
But I do think we should move the script, rename it, and probably
rewrite the thing as well (as it produces pretty rough HTML right
now).
It should also probably be in tetex-bin or tetex-doc, rather than
tetex-base, although, because it's a script, it isn't going to be
architecture-dependent so it doesn't really matter which package
it appears in.
