Package: packagesearch

When I started packagesearch the first time in a multiarch Debian/Sid
chroot (including the usual mounts) as root, it complained that the
xapian index was not generated and offered to generate it.  The systems
CPU usage raised to 100% and nothing user visible happend in the one or
two minutes I waited, neither in the GUI nor on the terminal I used to
start packagesearch.

The output of ps axuf contained:
| root     16779 85.2  0.3 377520 19780 pts/22   Rl+  13:51   1:25  |     |   
\_ packagesearch
| root     16784  0.0  0.0      0     0 pts/22   Z+   13:52   0:00  |     |     
  \_ [packagesearch] <defunct>
| root     16785  0.0  0.0 148796  3712 pts/29   Ss+  13:52   0:00  |     \_ 
/bin/zsh

I saw no process that seemed to be related to xapian or apt.

If I just did not wait long enough and missed the xapian process, then
there are still two issues:
 * PID 16784 was a zombie.
 * There should be something user visible whilst the xapian cache is
   generated, or at least the user notice should be noticed that
   generating the cache might take some minutes.

After manually invoking /usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index --update,
packagesearch started as expected.
