Tracker uses 100% cpu on clean install and doing some basic things

Hello,
I didn't really understand how the debian bug report system works.
So I decided to send an email to the maintainers of the package.

I think it's important tell you about this bug because of the imminent
release of debian 11.
Please read until the end, I will talk about building a kernel but it's the
way i reproduced the bug.
So here is the report :

Package : tracker
Version : 2.3.6-2

I made a clean install of debian gnome bullseye with the rc3 installer (and
installed firmwares etc) on my x260 laptop.
Then builded an upstream kernel and seeing a 100% cpu usage (event after
the build) from tracker miner fs.

Here is how to reproduce the bug

Then opened a terminal to execute

$ sudo apt build-dep linux

To install the dependencies to build a newer kernel.
Then I downloaded the 5.13.7 kernel archive on kernel.org.
I checked the signatures and checksum etc...
Then I 'untared' the archive and went into it using.

$ tar xaf linux-5.13.7.tar.xz && cd linux-5.13.7

I made the configuration I wanted (took my other laptop fedora 34 linux
5.13.5 configuration)

$ make oldconfig

Then

$ make deb-pkg -j 4                               *# + options for version
naming that are not important *
*                                                              # because it
builds and it's not a problem about building  *
                                                              *# the
kernel.*

Then watch htop and see the tracker-miner (or tracker-extract) process
using many cpu.

I don't now if that problem started when I 'untared' or if it was after
starting the build.
At least after the build it took a really long time to finish.

Thank you for your attention.
I'm pleased to try to contribute to debian.
