[SLUG] apt-get purge aftger apt-get remove

[peter]

Hi,
        I've done apt-get remove to get rid of some packages, but I
        should have done apt-get remove --purge.  How do I get rid of the
        config file droppings all over my system?

        (I know I can do:
           apt-get install pkg; apt-get remove --purge pkg
         but if the number and locations of config files have changed,
           this isn't guaranteed to clean everything out)
