My plocate.db is in /var/lib/plocate/, as is bookworm's.
Is that changing in the future?

  $ ls -l /var/lib/*locate/
  /var/lib/mlocate/:
  total 19344
  -rw-r----- 1 root mlocate 19807421 Aug 28 07:43 mlocate.db

  /var/lib/plocate/:
  total 20632
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root         183 Nov 17  2021 CACHEDIR.TAG
  -rw-r----- 1 root plocate 21121629 Dec 16 16:06 plocate.db
  $ 

Cheers,
David.
