This file is generated by mktexlsr, it is not part of the package itself. So lowering the severity to normal. texlive could be made to delete this file during purge. The other alternative, removing /usr/local/share/texmf from either the default search paths or from the ls-R building path (or both) would potentially confuse lots of users - not a good thing.
