updatedb.conf is missing, should it be configurable via ~guix system reconfigure~?

[Pierre Neidhardt]

~man updatedb.conf~ shows

       /gnu/store/d51d0bnpiwmarcjp8kckxb5wvs6kr7dz-mlocate-0.26/etc/updat‐
       edb.conf - a configuration file for updatedb(8)

Which does not exist.

        > guix build mlocate
        /gnu/store/5ry4cnrnfx54mjvh20n4idfv7xqfc95m-mlocate-0.26

        > tree -a /gnu/store/5ry4cnrnfx54mjvh20n4idfv7xqfc95m-mlocate-0.26
        /gnu/store/5ry4cnrnfx54mjvh20n4idfv7xqfc95m-mlocate-0.26

        |       |   `-- locate.1.gz
        |       |-- man5
        |       |   |-- mlocate.db.5.gz
        |       |   `-- updatedb.conf.5.gz
        |       `-- man8
        |           `-- updatedb.8.gz
        `-- var
            `-- mlocate

A global search on the filesystem reveals no updatedb.conf.  I think we
need some rules to configure it from a system configuration with ~guix
system reconfigure~.
