On apt 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13, theres this:
[ Adam Conrad ]
* On armel, call update-apt-xapian-index with '-u' to keep the CPU
  and I/O usage low.  We would do this on all arches, but there's a
  regression risk here, but that's better than killing slow systems.

Shouldn't the daily script run with -u *always*, and let the re-built
exclusively for the weekly script?

Title:
  update-apt-xapian-index is run both daily and weekly

Status in “apt-xapian-index” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt-xapian-index

  /etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index runs it weekly. In addition it is
  run daily inside /etc/cron.daily/apt

  With the fixes in 0.37 in Maverick, it has become less of a
  catastrophe but still it is one of the most annoying things on the
  Ubuntu desktop IMHO: 2 minutes of full CPU, taking 100-200MB, kicking
  in when you least need it.
