Title:
  mlocate.updatedb does not call ionice

Status in “mlocate” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mlocate

  updatedb.mlocate can cause a lot of disk activity, and it is not a
  time-critical process.    Therefore, it should call nice and ionice so
  that it does not steal cycles or disk activity from foreground
  processes.
