The version of updatedb in the 4.8.0-1 package does not actually contain 
those lines.  Mention of both $bigram and $code has been removed from 
the loop construct (and from everywhere else in the script).

That's because the old format of find databases, which is the only one 
actually using bigram and code, was removed from updatedb as of 
findutils version 4.7, so there really cannot be a need for the bigram 
tool any more.
