nice.

I'll still oppose installing a locate package on every system by default
which burns energy every day on millions of computers for almost noone's
benefit.

Those who want locate, can apt install it. The rest shouldn't default to
having more toxic computers than need be. Energy wasted is toxic for this
planet and thus all of us.
