Yes, then it is a bug in *these* packages, but not in tex-common
or texlive-base.

If the package uses dh_installtex all will be done with triggers 
and within tex-common, so no /u/l/s/texmf/ls-R file is generated.

If the admin generates ls-R file there by calling mktexlsr by hadn,
then by policy we are not allowed to remove that one.

That does not provide any information but the fact that calling
	mktexlsr
without any argumetn creates /u/l/s/texmf/ls-R, which I already know.

I am reducing the severity of this bug, as I don't see anything
related to what is really a problem.

Please raise it again if you think this is still a bug of tex-common.

Best wishes
