You can delete package but some package may depend on it. With "aptitude
why" you can see if some other package needs "sudo" package. Here's an
example:

    $ aptitude why sudo
    i   kde-plasma-desktop Depends plasma-desktop (>= 4:5.10)
    i A plasma-desktop     Depends kde-cli-tools (>= 4:5.14) 
    i A kde-cli-tools      Depends libkf5su5 (>= 4.96.0)     
    i A libkf5su5          Depends sudo
