I'm sorry if my original report was not clear, my question was solely
about apt-get's behaviour. dpkg of course works as expected.

Yes, it's the expected behaviour... You can also remove them by running:
dpkg --purge `dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall | cut -f1`
as proposed here:

Apart from the above, I agree with you that purge should remove the
config
