your real-life usage and need for this.
My own need is to support Buster & Xenial for embedded devices at work
with only mlocate.
Hybriding updatedb would mean one more ugly #ifdef in the C code.

Usage of plain old "locate" from findutils was never an option
as it is so slow and would be harmful to cruft(-ng) users.
I have configured locate.findutils to be my "locate" due to different
behaviour when providing multiple file arguments.
I know it's slower, and I can live with that.
However, cruft-ng calling "updatedb" updates incorrect database this way, it
also produces errors.
And since cruft-ng calls explicitly "plocate", it could as well call
explicitly "updatedb.plocate"
