Bug#63006: Updating locate database slows down initial boot process.

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.11
Severity: wishlist

The first time the base system is booted it updates the locate database.
I think it's too soon for that, considering that still a lot of packages
have to be installed, and a lot of new files will be added to the 
system (the locate database will become outdated quickly).

This would not be a problem if it weren't because it slows down the
boot process.

I suggest that this locate database is not created in the first boot
at all, is created in the background, or is created after exiting 
dselect, when most of the packages have been already installed.

Thanks.
