+B<tl-update-tlpdb> converts TeX Live source package files (tlpsrc) files

+in time (i.e., having a smaller revision number in the new tlpdb). In
+this case it commits a dummy change to the package's tlpsrc file to make

If a TeX Catalogue hierarchy is specified, additional information from
the catalogue are merged into the database (see L<TeXLive::TLPOBJ> for
