Well, I can only surmise that the pic and nopic correspond to the kernel
parameters apic and noapic for graphics handling. I can't explain the absence of
the files, they were there when I was building a year ago, so this is something

tar -tJf tde-tdelibs-3.5.14_dev-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz | grep tdefakes
