Seems this file is not touched purposedly.

This file is not touched purposedly; it's for local use so it shouldn't
be overwritten.

These are profiled libraries which you disabled by NOPROFILE.
It's safe to remove them.

Ah OK.  This is because all crypto stuff (including all profiles libs
above) ends up in a single distribution (crypto), and we do not provide
the crypto-manpages, crypto-proflibs, etc. distributions.

Leave them.  If you remove them, next installworld will install them.
It's usually a good idea to (periodically) installworld to a different
DESTDIR, and compare what you have with what you get.  This way, you
can get rid of many cruft (most of the cruft settles in /usr/include
and /usr/libdata/perl).  I do this twice a year on my machines, space
permitting.
