True, these are the only files in both positions. But this is true also
for
mapping;texmf[^/]*/metafont/misc/modes.mf;copy;/etc/texmf
mapping;texmf[^/]*/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex;copy;/etc/texmf
mapping;texmf[^/]*/tex/latex/pict2e/pict2e.cfg;copy;/etc/texmf
mapping;texmf[^/]*/tex/latex/contour/contour.cfg;copy;/etc/texmf
mapping;texmf[^/]*/tex/latex/config/color.cfg;copy;/etc/texmf
mapping;texmf[^/]*/tex/latex/config/graphics.cfg;copy;/etc/texmf
mapping;texmf[^/]*/tex/latex/config/hyperref.cfg;copy;/etc/texmf
these files ... they are both in
/etc/temxf/....
and
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/...

There are more of these files, from tpm2deb.cfg:
# note that config-link copies the file to the given position and creates
# a link in the original position, while config-copy (see below) copies
# the file into the same relative position in the given tree and leaves the
# file also in the original position!
# The former should be used for files which are searched for at a specific
# location, while the latter for files which are searched via kpse
mapping;texmf[^/]*/dvipdfm/config/config;config-link;/etc/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfm.cfg
mapping;texmf[^/]*/xdvi/xdvi.cfg;config-link;/etc/texmf/xdvi/xdvi.cfg
mapping;texmf[^/]*/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults;config-link;/etc/texmf/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults
mapping;texmf[^/]*/texdoctk/texdoctk.dat;config-link;/etc/texmf/texdoctk/texdoctk.dat
So:
TEXMF/dvipdfm/config/config -> /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfm.cfg
TEXMF/xdvi/xdvi.cfg -> /etc/texmf/xdvi/xdvi.cfg
TEXMF/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults -> /etc/texmf/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults
TEXMF/texdoctk/texdoctk.dat -> /etc/texmf/texdoctk/texdoctk.dat
For those 4 files I don't know whether they would be found without the
link!
Best wishes
Norbert
