Longer answer: This was done in order to simplify maintenance. All binaries, libs, scripts and symlinks to them are in texlive-bin, even those that point to scripts that are part of other packages. Of course most are in texlive-core, but a few are in texlive-htmlxml and texlive-latexextra. This may be ugly, but life is too short. To be honest I have that on my todo list for the next release.
