Following the apparent deluge of bugs against dlocate asking for
interoperability with slocate and/or dlocate (#101426, #453952, #454471,
#456249, #489262), I would like to second the suggestion in #489262 to
add a README to dlocate to explain the issue.

Below please find an ad-hoc suggestion for
/usr/share/doc/dlocate/README.slocate.mlocate.txt

Using dlocate with slocate or mlocate
=====================================

slocate and mlocate do not provide the frecode tool, which is required
by dlocate.  Therefore, you cannot use these as a drop-in replacement
for the parts of locate which dlocate requires.  You can, however,
install slocate or mlocate alongside with the original locate, and
disable the cron job in locate if you do not want to run it.  For more
information, please see Debian bug report #454106

If this were a real .signature, it would suck less.  Well, maybe not.
