Well, if you index your filesystem using GNU Locate as root, the location to every file will be available to all users. Isn't it added security that Secure Locate will preform proper access checks to ensure the user is able to see the file location? Just because Debian uses a default context of indexing with 'nobody' doesn't mean that the extra security checks are not relevant to the description.
Does this make sense?
