I've just noticed that texdoc doesn't rely on that file[1] even though
it's referenced in texdoc code: if I remove the file texdoc works just
fine, and it's also able to find documentation for packages not listed
in Data.tlpdb.lua when the file is there.  I gave a look to the code,
but I'm not familiar with lua, do you have an idea how texdoc actually
works?

Bye,
Mosè


Note:
[1]  The file appears to be also pretty old: the file installed on my
TeX Live 2015 has been last edited on 2012-06-01, this explains why
many packages are missing in this list.
