If those came from a package, they're bugs.

Those aren't bugs (well, possibly apart from the TeX one, dunno about
that).
9.1.2. Site-specific programs
-----------------------------
As mandated by the FHS, packages must not place any files in
`/usr/local', either by putting them in the file system archive to be
unpacked by `dpkg' or by manipulating them in their maintainer
scripts.
However, the package may create empty directories below `/usr/local'
so that the system administrator knows where to place site-specific
files. These directories should be removed on package removal if they
are empty.
Note, that this applies only to directories _below_ `/usr/local', not
_in_ `/usr/local'. Packages must not create sub-directories in the
directory `/usr/local' itself, except those listed in FHS, section
4.5. However, you may create directories below them as you wish. You
must not remove any of the directories listed in 4.5, even if you
created them.
