This then needs to happen for all of the core system executables, and not
just these three ones you happen to be using. Packaging should follow a
policy and not be an inconsistent mishmash. But having a policy that splits
every executable into its own package would be a maintenance nightmare.

It can be useful to have find and/or xargs by themselves without
pulling in locate and its associated binaries updatedb and frcode. In
my case, I just need xargs in an initramfs, which is a 42K binary; the
other binaries add over 300K of dead weight.
So split the recipe
