Me neither, and I won't have time to look into it soon.

We are creating them "statically" so that dpkg knows about them;
creating them by texlinks in the maintainer scripts would be a bad
idea.
But we could replace the manual link creation by a call to
debian/tetex-bin/usr/bin/texlinks with appropriate --cnffile and
DIRECTORIES parameters.
