That package contained the nfsfind executable. Another part of the installation added the crontab entry. So, a different approach would be to change the addition of the crontab entry to be done if and only if the package with nfsfind was added to the system. This is a harder approach than the '-x' one. But the '-x' one is certainly an approach you can take.
