You must have an unusually paranoid computer. I have a sid workstation
and wheezy server running at the moment, neither of which has any
members of the sudo group, which I think is a relatively recent
innovation in Debian.

It might be one of those situations where 'I did A and it didn't work,
I did B and it didn't work, I did C and it finally did work, and I was
so relieved that I could get on with the job that was being held up that
I didn't take the time to go back and undo A and B'. We've all been
there, and have bits of mostly harmless cruft here and there to prove
it...
