This bug was fixed in the package findutils - 4.6.0-2

---------------
findutils (4.6.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/watch: Scan both alpha.gnu.org and ftp.gnu.org.
  * Merge master to experimental:
    + Include stable changelog entries
    + Fix building twice in a row by deleting doc/stamp-vti, doc/version.texi,
      on clean. (Not necessary now, but might hit us if we patch the docs.)
  * Add more breaks with packages using find -perm +xx at runtime.  For
    debconf switch from Breaks to Conflicts to be on the very safe side.
    Closes: #704879
  * Move Vcs-* from git/http to https.
  * Upload to unstable. Closes: #784168

Title:
  oldfind isn't documented

Status in findutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in findutils package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  findutils includes /usr/bin/oldfind, but the manpage doesn't give any
  indication as to what this is for.

  /usr/share/man/man1/oldfind.1.gz is a symlink to find.1.gz, so typing
  man oldfind just displays find(1), which doesn't contain the text
  ‘oldfind’ anywhere in it.

  The NEWS.gz file mentions it in the changes for version 4.4.1, but it
  should be documented in a less transient place. And as a user it
  doesn't help anyway: I don't know what fts() is, or under what
  circumstances I should use oldfind instead of find.

  Please make man oldfind give information on what oldfind is for.
  Thanks.
