These files are in texlive-base

hille@debian:~$ apt-file search xmltex.ini
texlive-base: 
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/tex-ini-files/pdfxmltex.ini
texlive-base: 
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/tex-ini-files/xmltex.ini

They were in texlive-formats-extra before the latest uploaded; different 
path, hence no file conflict.

Upgrading texlive-base to 2023.20231207-1 should solve your issue.
