The following command reports packages that have been removed but not 
purged:

dpkg -l | grep "rc "
rc  apt-show-versi 0.08           lists available package versions with distri
rc  console-tools  0.2.3dbs-56    Linux console and font utilities
rc  dhcp-client    2.0pl5-19      DHCP Client
rc  initramfs-tool 0.49bpo1       tools for generating an initramfs
ii  sysv-rc        2.86.ds1-1     Standard boot mechanism using symlinks in /e

Of course, a false positive always shows up (sysv-rc) but, othwerwise, those 
are indeed packages that have been removed without a purge, presumably during 
the course of installing packages with Conflicts relationships.

Thus, this wishlist is for a --find-removed option similar to --find-config 
that could be used to locate packages whose binary is gone but who still have 
some files left.
