It look like this is distro dependant:
[23:10:59 tmp]$ locate run-parts
/bin/run-parts
/usr/share/man/man8/run-parts.8.gz
[23:12:44 tmp]$ file /bin/run-parts
/bin/run-parts: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically linked
(uses shared libs), stripped
[23:12:53 tmp]$ dpkg -S /bin/run-parts
debianutils: /bin/run-parts
run-parts.8.gz
