visudo is not a separate package.  It's a program included in the
sudo package.

unicorn:~$ type visudo
visudo is /usr/sbin/visudo
unicorn:~$ dpkg -S /usr/sbin/visudo
sudo: /usr/sbin/visudo

Remember, "sudo" adds /usr/sbin to the PATH by default, so it may "see"
programs that your regular user account can't see.  (Unless you've
changed your PATH variable, as I have.)
