Bug#327741: it's more interesting than it looks like.

I just made the same search (32 files are from the KOMA-Script package
allown). All of these files are generated files. Derived versions are
possible if you start with the original source and use a different name
(roughly speaking). See, eg,
/usr/share/doc/texmf/latex/koma-script/LEGAL.TXT for details.

With respect to the original message:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/seminar/xcomment.sty is part of the seminar
package. In the documentation to the seminar package it says:

,----[ /usr/share/doc/texmf/latex/seminar/sem-read.me.gz ]
| IMPORTANT NOTE
| 
| With the agreement of Timothy Van Zandt  (now tvz@zandtwerk.kellogg.nwu.edu),
| the distributions conditions on seminar are now relaxed to:
| 
|  This package may be distributed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public
|  License, as described in lppl.txt in the base LaTeX distribution.
|  Either version 1.0 or, at your option, any later version.
|   
| This overrides the conditions listed below. A new version of 
| "seminar" is in preparation by Timothy van Zandt.

I guess the TeX world is not known for rapid release cycles ...
