I copied this terminfo source file to my home directory in NetBSD and

This created a .terminfo directory in HOME, and a subdirectory r with a
single file in r called rxvt-unicode-256color. No cdb extension in other
words.
I'm stumped and confused. I don't understand how NetBSD could do that
(not create a database file; a file with the .cdb extension).
According to the man page for tic:
DESCRIPTION
The tic utility compiles terminfo(5) source into a database for use by
other programs. The created database path name is the same as the source
but with .cdb appended.
The .terminfo directory and subdirecotry you describe is what I see on Arch
Linux, but not NetBSD.
