Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
apt-xapian-index is a recommend of synaptic, and it's installed by
default. But, on some systems, apt-xapian-index uses too many ressources
and make system very slow (see bug 594820 and bug 769215 for example).
Considering that synaptic is a good alternative to software-center,
especially on system which can't run it smoothly, adding apt-xapian-
index make synaptic less interesting. Also, apt-xapian-index only adds
the quick search feature, which is partly covered by the classical
search.
Finally, it's a problem for Lubuntu, which especially target low
hardwares, and which use synaptic as a packages manager because
Software-center is too heavy for some of Lubuntu's targets.
