I guess it would need happen like this:
1. upload findutils with splitoff locate to experimental. The locate
package (Is this name ok?) ships /usr/bin/locate.findutils and
/usr/bin/updatedb.findutils. It installs low-priority alterntives for
these. The package conflicts with slocate (<< the next version, i.e.
3.1-1.2). It conflicts/replaces findutils (<=4.3.8-1, which is the
last vesion living in experimental.)
