It is likely that the files in /etc or the ones in /usr/share/texmf
are symlinks to the other set of files.

A lot of the problems you have come down to this: teTeX 3.0 is not
exactly the same as teTeX 2.02 was (mostly because of changes in
the TeX Directory Standard); but the linux rpm/deb packages try
hard to make it appear to be. Hence the attemps to make it fit in
the old directory structure (Most probably this is because
maintainers tend to dislike change).

In the latest cont-lmt.zip from Pragma, as well as the latest Latin
modern distribution on Ctan, absolutely everything is lowercase.
The mixed case file names are a thing of the past, and indicate
that not all of the old stuff is removed from your system (still).

Cheers, and hang on,
