You forgot that we once had a symlink /usr/share/texmf/web2c ->
/var/lib/texmf/web2c. It might be that some intermediate buggy version,
alone or together with a user messing things up, caused these files to
show up there. Or some buggy installation script of whatever.

There were some old bug reports or discussions on the list where people
sent a listing of the directory. I don't recall what was in there - but
essentially we can and should check fmtutil.cnf, updmap.cfg, *.log, and
all format files (*.fmt, *.efmt, *.oft et al)
