With aptitude you might want to try running
aptitude keep-all

The 'rc' packages shouldn't be a problem (see the header of the output
of an explanation of the flags) and getting rid of them should be as
simple as
aptitude purge '?config-files'
The 'ri' means 'dpkg' thinks they are installed, but remove was
requested.
If you still need them try downloading the .deb files and passing them
to `dpkg -i` otherwise pass the list to one of `apt purge`,
`aptitude purge` or `dpkg --purge`.
Or it might be taken care of by `aptitude keep-all` ;)
Hope this helps,
Andrei
