Public bug reported:

Kubuntu 14.04, new install
mlocate  Installed: 0.26-1ubuntu1

Running "updatedb" does not include /home subdirectories in the file
scan. Editing /etc/updatedb.conf and remarking out
PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS="yes"  results in a successful /home file scan. This
behavior is a change from 13.10, where updatedb and updatedb.conf worked
as expected.

I suspect this may be due to /home being a mounted btrfs subvolume.
However, as I stated, this worked fine using 13.10.
