Sounds good, and I think locate as package name is appropriate. Is there
an ETA for uploading 4.3.8 to unstable?

Well, I should've been more verbose: that patch will run updatedb even
if findutil's locate is installed but not the selected alternative. Now
that I think about it, maybe:
[ `readlink -f /usr/bin/updatedb` = /usr/bin/updatedb.findutils ] || exit 0
(And the same for mlocate *and* slocate). How does it sound?
