I do not observe the OP's effect on my system (Gutsy->Hardy), although my 
package is also 0.18-2ubuntu1
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mlocate.postinst contains
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
    update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/locate locate /usr/bin/mlocate 80 \ 
...
And as a result,
$ ls -l /usr/bin/*locate*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       24 2008-04-28 13:41 /usr/bin/locate -> 
/etc/alternatives/locate
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mlocate 30508 2008-03-08 19:22 /usr/bin/mlocate
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    28120 2008-03-08 19:22 /usr/bin/updatedb.mlocate
with /etc/alternatives/locate pointing back to /usr/bin/mlocate
