A test of the above:

ii libc5 5.4.46-15 The Linux C library version 5
(run-time libraries)
'htop' (while "dlocate -l '^.. libc5'" is running) shows:
egrep -- ^..|libc5 /var/lib/dlocate/dpkg-list
That is, the " " (space) got replaced by a "|", ('egrep' logical
'OR'). So 'egrep' dumps the whole of 'dpkg-list', then 'dlocate'
reformats it.
The " " is replaced with a "|" here:
% grep -n -m 1 'PKGS_REGEXP=' /usr/bin/dlocate
148:PKGS_REGEXP=$(echo "$PKGS" | sed -e 's/ /|/g')
A look at the code shows the '-l' switch parser is part of a complex
'for' loop. The '-l' switch should eat the next argument, but that
won't work in a 'for' loop. Some ad hoc variable action follows, (e.g.
line #148).
Is there some reason not to use 'getopts', or even 'set' & 'shift'?
(If I understood the switch parsing code better, I'd attach a patch.)
Hope this helps...

* the extra grep options obsolete the request for shell glob patterns
(Closes: #49922)
* checked for empty $PKGS (Closes: #523501)
* fixed '-man' option, so that it doesn't break on man directories with
locales

multiple package names

it is in practice essential, and should not be declared
