The problem with this solution being that you have to work out
dependancy chains by yourself, where an apt-get/aptitude purge will work
them out for you.
To see for yourself, try it on any "-data" package.

If you borrowed a debian config, you'll need an:

rather than a

And, if you're using unstable, the driver will require you to mess with

How up-to-date is the kernel? udev should be the right tool, and if it
