I don't think you need to imagine that.
Either the work you want to include in Debian has such a table or it
does not.
If it does not, we have no problems today.
If someone modifies the work in the future to include such a table, they
either need to relicense under a compatible license that clearly allows
modification, grant an exception, or not include their modification in
Debian.
If the work you plan to include has such a table or something that is
covered by such a database right, then yeah, this license is kind of
dubious.
Yes, this means more work for the maintainer.
But there is no need to imagine when we can think about the specifics.
