Something tells me that this isn't a universally held benefit nor, again,
is it one that is limited to sudo. I don't use sudo and yet I could tell you
exactly when I installed starvoyager.
root@mania:/var/log# zgrep starvoyager * | grep INSTALL
aptitude.1.gz:[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] starvoyager-data
aptitude.1.gz:[INSTALL] starvoyager

[INSTALL] starvoyager
Yup, on Aug. 31st at 3:05pm I installed starvoyager. Didn't need sudo to
tell me that. ;P
