Hi,

Well an "inode is a terrible thing to waste" (a one-file directory),
but /usr/include/mlocate/db.h is indeed cleaner.

Given the current inflow of one-liner node-js crap package,
maybe someone would think "mlocate-dev" would now make sense,
but I haven't changed my mind yet about this :-)

One worried about useless tiny .h files can always configure dpkg
with "path-exclude=/usr/include"

That would be really nice, thank you !
