/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex/graphics/dvipdfm.def  
comes from the latex-update i-Package.

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/dvipdfm/dvipdfm.def  
comes from the tex i-Package.

You should report this to Gerben Wierda, the one who creates the TeX  
and LaTeX update i-Packages and created i-Installer.

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/dvipdfm/dvipdfm.def file  
is from 1999/9/6 (the other one is from 1998/11/24) has this URL in  
its header: http://odo.kettering.edu/dvipdfm/ (as the elder one, too)  
and states that it is hand optimised – could be the owner of this  
site needs to receive also a notice.

The elder file uses \special syntax from dvipdfm, the newer one seems  
to be unspecific and has an extra rule for PNG files.
