Title:
  mlocate picks up encrypted files

Status in mlocate package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I run "locate .r", I get thousands of encrypted files:

  /home/.ecryptfs/gpk/.Private/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTU6BFIY.v6QbtLvphbNinh1U--/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FXbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTUsWmsHnIZ7PpuC-lOdLWDfvcYC.0DrJ7eacDzYYgGkFA-/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTU8iMfdxDbMcjJy3azpP0IjU--/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FXbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTUnqOJZummIMMpNdxKaLavPDmtoAnK-NX0zRlcR44HRK--/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTUAkDeGBLuFWQCg.LP5pZtVk--/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTUQshHGMWwOSre.rkQlZWU3U--

  ...and so forth.   Clearly, updatedb is running amok, looking at the
  encrypted form of my disk.  (I took the Ubuntu option to encrypt my
  home directory).     I presume this happens when I leave my machine on
  overnight and I am not logged in.     When not logged in, my disk is
  probably encrypted, but updatedb scans it anyway...
