$ man apt-get
remove
remove is identical to install except that packages are
removed instead of installed. Note the removing a
package leaves its configuration files in system. If a plus
sign is appended to the package name (with no
intervening space), the identified package will be installed
instead of removed.
purge
purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed
and purged (any configuration files are deleted too).
This metapackage installs all components of libreoffice:
* libreoffice-writer: Word processor
* libreoffice-calc: Spreadsheet
* libreoffice-impress: Presentation
* libreoffice-draw: Drawing
* libreoffice-base: Database
* libreoffice-math: Equation editor
* libreoffice-filter-mobiledev: Mobile Devices filters
You need to remove or purge those packages. Those packages can't depend
to the metapackage, since some users perhaps don't want to install all
packages ;), just the metapackage is dependent to all of those packages.
