It was added with the log message "add files to let texlive handle
tetex-bin's old conffiles" and immediately after that the following: 

"Provide a tetex-bin-update script. This allows also texlive to properly
rename an old tetex-bin conffile, and add the magic comment, and is
therefore needed for a transition from teTeX to TeXlive without
upgrading teTeX to the etch version first."

In other words:  If this has been correct, and one has the etch version
of teTeX, it is no longer needed.

I think ucf deregistering should be done.
