[Bug 1480133] [NEW] Bug #363695 rears its ugly head again

[Fabby]

Public bug reported:

As I cannot see how to re-open an existing bug, a new bug report that
#363695 is rearing its ugly head again (look at the comments)  Why not
limit the CPU/mem usage of update-apt-xapian-index to 5% of the system?
That way no one would even notice...  (or make it an optional package
instead of default...)

Better that then seeing lots of comments to a bug whose status has been
"fix released" for years but apparently still bothers end-users...
