Did this change? It's not installed by default in bionic; and no meta
package depends on it, but it seems to have moved to main in disco.
I think both tracker and locate can offer a terrible user experience for
a lot of users, due to I/O load after resume/boot; but tracker also has
a ton of CPU usage extracting stuff from documents and putting the text
into its xapian (?) db.

ack - also, it sucks to have this I/O load once a day.
