I suppose you mean foo-doc, and mean foreach foo in app-list, which
this shell snippit nicely accomplices,
$ cat app-list | while read LINE ; do grep $LINE-doc full-list ; done \
> doc-list
On my Debian box this comes up with eight packages in doc-list (where
both app- and full-list contain all 764 packages installed on my
system.)
