That one shouldn't be there.  We've had this two times before in the
last couple of weeks, but unfortunately never found out why these files
are there.

I think, nevertheless, that we should just assume that they are there on
some systems, and care for them (i.e. delete them).

Correct

Also correct. Does anybody recall from the older bug reports why, in
these cases, the files in /usr/share/texmf/web2c took precedence over
the ones in /var/lib/texmf?
