Hmmm, unfortunately these files cannot be move away, but this is a bug I
would say in fmtutil etc. In most of the places these scripts are
searched with kpsewhich web2c files, so they would be found everywhere,
only in fmtutil (and maybe other places) there are functions defined
which do NOT use this:
mktexupd()
{
initTexmfMain
"$MT_TEXMFMAIN/web2c/mktexupd" "$@"
}
If it would use MT_MKTEXUPD which is set in cache_vars:
: ${MT_VARTEXFONTS=`kpsewhich --expand-var='$VARTEXFONTS' | sed 's%^!!%%'`}
: ${MT_MKTEXNAM=`kpsewhich --format='web2c files' mktexnam`}
: ${MT_MKTEXNAM_OPT=`kpsewhich --format='web2c files' mktexnam.opt`}
: ${MT_MKTEXDIR=`kpsewhich --format='web2c files' mktexdir`}
: ${MT_MKTEXDIR_OPT=`kpsewhich --format='web2c files' mktexdir.opt`}
: ${MT_MKTEXUPD=`kpsewhich --format='web2c files' mktexupd`}
: ${MT_MKTEX_CNF=`kpsewhich --format='web2c files' mktex.cnf`}
: ${MT_MKTEX_OPT=`kpsewhich --format='web2c files' mktex.opt`}
export MT_VARTEXFONTS MT_MKTEXNAM MT_MKTEXNAM_OPT MT_MKTEXDIR
export MT_MKTEXDIR_OPT MT_MKTEXUPD MT_MKTEX_CNF MT_MKTEX_OPT
it would be nice ;-)
I build texlive packages with all the files but those listed above moved
to texmf-texlive, tests will show ...
Best wishes

The nose which occurs (often by night) in a strange house, which is
too short and too irregular for you ever to be able to find out what
it is and where it comes from.
