Package: mlocate
Version: 0.26-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please ship db.h as /usr/include/mlocate_db.h

This files only weights 2714 bytes, so it's not interresting to build an
independant mlocate-dev package.

I need it to read mlocate binary database dirrectly for speed.

I guess some other users might want to do the same.

I currently ship a local copy in my database, but it seems against the spirit
of the policy:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles

The 'sudo' package do the same with /usr/include/sudo_plugin.h .

Here is my ITP:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770445

Goal is to solve this long-standing bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=429602

Thanks,

Alexandre Detiste
