Hello Brad,
Not entirely true; Any package that has configuration

in user space will have those left even after an apt-get(1) purge.
So,
to be sure, one has to delete those as well.
$ man 1 apt-get
No manual entry for apt-get in section 1
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not
available.
The apt-get(8) man page says:
"purge
purge is identical to remove except that packages are
removed and
purged (any configuration files are deleted too)."

Then the man is not precise enough. Try to install a random package
with userspace settings, like, say, a game. Change it's settings, purge
it from the system, and reinstall it. The settings will not change.
Purge only removes configuration files contained in the package, so,
/etc ones.
