Sorry, my fault. First of all, I forgot that we use ucf to manage /etc/texdoctk/texdocrc, and although this is a great workaround for some missing features in dpkg's conffile handling, it doesn't understand --force-confmiss. Second, texdocrc is in fact in the package tetex-base. But it's much easier: simply copy /usr/share/tetex-base/texdocrc to /etc/texdoctk/texdocrc.
