Title:
  mlocate does not work as expected on encrypted disks

Status in mlocate package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mlocate

  My home partitions were set up with ecryptfs (an option in the installer).  locate now does not return original filenames, but hashed ones, 
  unlegible stuff under /home/.ecryptfs/rolf/.Private/

  There's two things that need to be done, I think

  1) don't index stuff under */.ecrypts/*
  2) do index /home/$user
