They are placed there by fmtutil-sys. To reproduce:
- uncomment the "cyrtex" line in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf
- run "fmtutil-sys --cnffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf --all"
(everything as root).

This creates a bunch of .tfm and 600 DPI .pk fonts  in /var/lib/texmf/fonts.
Then when a non-root user needs these .pk fonts at another resolution,
they are created in the current directory.

Best regards,
