Maybe call it locate, or findutils-locate (I prefer the former).

> findutils (same SOURCE) and have it provide LOCATE
> Have mlocate (and slocate, if we get it) provide LOCATE
> Have findutils optionally depend on locate (systems can exist without it :))
Have locate, mlocate, and slocate all CONFLICT with each other
