/etc/updatedb.conf is misnamed, it should called updatedb.conf.cron.
I don't think I am going to change updatedb.
It would break any locally set-up run of updatedb with custom
options. And the current behavior has been like this forever.
On top of that it is debian-only file.
I am pondering removing updatedb.conf and placing its contents in
/etc/cron.daily/find instead.
