First of all, thanks for maintaining debian's findutils package. It's really useful.
I agree that redirecting errors to /dev/null is questionable. It masks all sorts of errors, like "permission denied" when LOCALUSER is "nobody". Perhaps a commented out line with stderr redirected to /tmp/updatedb.log could be added to /etc/cron.daily/find for debugging purposes. Also, it seems to me that /etc/cron.daily/find's definition of LOCALUSER is overwritten by subsequently sourcing /etc/updatedb.conf, which also defines LOCALUSER. Finally, I'd like to suggest adding a note somewhere that changing LOCALUSER to root in /etc/updatedb.conf allows locate to find more files.
