No, there isn't. That was basically the output of dpkg -S floatflt. Looking at that file, it appears to be a simple wrapper around floatflt to make it usable with tex4ht; nothing in it seems to be actually taken from floatflt. There are quite a number of such wrappers in tex4ht, many of them for packages that don't seem to be in the teTeX distribution, so I don't think this one is any more of a problem than the rest; I suspect these wrappers are all as shipped from upstream, and it doesn't seem necessary to remove all the ones for macro packages not in Debian (since the majority of them are for macro packages that are in Debian). - Josh Triplett
