Except that the doc-base entry doesn't say anything about GNU; it
just claims to be documenting "locate".  On a given Debian system,
GNU locate may or may not even be installed, and "locate" may mean
slocate or mlocate; if that's the case, telling users all about
a different implementation of the command is unhelpful.  The only
way users are going to have a chance of second-guessing it is if
they happen to be familiar with the way the upstream tarballs are
organised. 

So okay, you're right, it's not a bug, it's a can of worms.
