The backup plan would possibly be that I move to updatedb.plocate.conf; I'm not sure whether I should cp updatedb.conf updatedb.plocate.conf in postinst (assuming it exists) or not.
That sounds complicated.
Or, yes, add breaks; there's limited value to having both installed now that plocate has stabilized. What do you think?
That would be the least intrusive change, and it could be revisited for bookworm if there is still interest for co-installability. Or mlocate could go away in bookworm (or become a transitional package for switching to plocate).
Andreas PS: I have no clue what any of them do ;-)
