It should display the leftover files already when there are any. However it seems that dpkg marks quite a few packages with "Status: deinstall ok config-files" even if there are no config files left. I see this on my box for e.g. abiword which afaict from a quick glance at various old version never had a config files. This sounds like something to talk to dpkg about.
