On a recently updated testing system, I went to use 'locate' to find

'locate' get, uh, relocated or something?

findutils (4.2.31-2) unstable; urgency=low
* locate is no longer included in the findutils package. It has been split
off to a separate package "locate". (There are alternative implementations
available, too; see mlocate or slocate.)

So you can use either locate, mlocate, slocate ... but you need to
install them as a separate package.
As a hint to consider: If you use testing/unstable you can install
apt-listchanges. See for a description apt-cache show apt-listchanges.
By default it displays a changed NEWS.Debian.gz.

Best regards,
Salvatore
