I fear the "reference" will only be confusing. After all, it's not that
hard to get an original conffile back if you want to.

I'm inclined to handle this problem experimentally, wait...

Same for the others, after creating the files in TEXMFSYSCONFIG:
$ KPATHSEA_DEBUG=36 dvipdfm mini.dvi 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep dvipdfm/config
kdebug:db:match(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/dvipdfm/config,/home/frank/texmf/dvipdfm//) = 0

kdebug:search([texdocrc.defaults]) => /etc/texmf/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults
(texdoct.dat is not a configuration file, but anyway:
