Ups, sorry that I forgot this, and that I wasn't aware how outdated my
acquaintance with the packages has gotten.

Why shouldn't we instead take it over? If someone has changed some of
the formats, they expect that the change persists.

I'm not sure, but I thought that these files are kept only if they have
been changed. So their purpose would be to provide the user a way to
migrate their old changes to teTeX's formats to the new TeXLive
configuration files, and they should not be removed in the postinst.
