Ah, now I understand.  I tend to consider this as a design flaw, but we
might have to cope with it.

Anyway, it doesn't make it harder to remove files that are no longer on
CTAN (like the obsolete urw35vf stuff), or things that slipped in by an
other mechanism, like the dvi-augsburg versions of Palatino (no
directory name like this).
