Yes.

The submitter sees a non-significant problem here. I suggested to
downgrade to wishlist and posted some drafts for a solution.

Well, these files come from other programs.

We call:

MAPTEMP=`tempfile -p updm`
<snip>
  /usr/bin/updmap --outputdir /etc/texmf/dvips 2> ${MAPTEMP}

TEMPFILE=`tempfile -p tex`
<snip>
  fmtutil --all >> $TEMPFILE

and tempfile(1)

       -p, --prefix STRING
              Use up to five letters of STRING  to  generate  the
              name.

so they can't be from teTeX.
