# find /home -xdev -exec fgrep -H sudo {} +
That only works for packages installed on YOUR N900 and it's usefulness is kind of limited if run on compiled binary programs instead of scripts.
I was more generally speaking, like searching the whole extras repo.

And I surely wouldn't do this on a six years old single core arm connected to a slow emmc or even slower µSD card guarded by a misbehaving watchdog.
