I'm no live-build maintainer, but any proposal of adding more to
lb_chroot_hacks makes me a bit nervous and think of other ways to
achieve the same result.
E.g. wouldn't it be nicer to add a (low-priority, disabled by default)
debconf option to mlocate, that would update the mlocate db in
mlocate.postinst when it is enabled? This way, everyone (rather than
Debian Live users only) would get a way to opt-in for the
"ready-to-work mlocate once installed" functionality by preseeding the
package. Some Debian Derivatives might want to enable it.
(Just my 2 cents.)
Bye,
