Public bug reported:
phatch-cli depends on locate | mlocate, and those packages install cron
jobs that creates a lot of background disk activity. Therefore users
have a legitimate interest in keeping those packages off their systems.
Also, from my (admittedly very cursory) investigation of phatch-cli, it
can offer most of its functionality without a locate db.
So the dependency on locate | mlocate should imo be demoted to a
Recommends or Suggests.
phatch-cli is 0.2.7.1-1.
