If correct that updatedb is only for locate/slocate commands to update its database what makes it so important it run daily why not make it run weekly and have a manual way to run it upon locate/slocate command or just by using a command like we do with apt-file since they both search local database AFAIK, This would prevent complaints like this one or the other ones out there, (im sure im not the only person that has this issue) most may write it off cause its devel or use forums as per the link you gave above.
