    [$] What goes into default Debian?
    The venerable locate
    file-finding utility has long been available for Linux systems, though its
    origins are in the BSD world. It is a generally useful tool, but does have
    a cost beyond just the disk space it occupies in the filesystem; there is a
    periodic daemon (updatedb)
    that runs to keep the file-name database up to date. As a recent
    debian-devel discussion shows, though, people have differing ideas of
    just how important the tool is—and whether it should be part of the default installation of Debian.
