Thanks for reporting this. Most are already fixed in my tree (not yet
released), but your mail might help other people on the list.

SIunits will go to latex/SIunits, because it is a two-file package
(SIunits.sty, binary.sty).

draftcopy should go into tex/latex/config (draftcopy.cfg) and
tex/latex/misc (draftcopy.sty), but my Makefile.tetex (in the
texmfsrc area) detects a two-file package and puts everything into
tex/latex/draftcopy.  I have to fix that, otherwise that problem will
likely appear again sometime...

All psnfss related stuff in texmf/tex and texmf/fonts: the files in
psnfss directories are the right ones. The others should be removed.

The file in tex/generic/babel has no real code, so I think the other
one should be kept.

*.map and config.* should be removed from dvips/qfonts.

I have dropped fonts/tfm/public/mathpple.

psyro.tfm should be in fonts/tfm/adobe/times (according to the psnfss
maintainer).

See above: dropped fonts/tfm/public/mathpple.

I have dropped mathptmx, too. mathptmx and mathpple, being part of psnfss
are now in other directories (not my decision).

Again: dropped mathpple.

Thanks for your analysis. When I looked for duplicates a few weeks ago,
I have spotted most, but not all of this (I missed the dvips and babel
stuff).
