Actually, purge does not remove ~/.config directories or files.  Neither
apt-get nor aptitude will remove any files from a user's home directory.
Purge (as opposed to remove) will delete system config directories and
files for the package being purged; remove (as opposed to purge) will
not.  Whichever method you use, you will still be left with any config
files in your user's home.  Delete them manually if you don't want them
anymore.

I know you didn't write the "Out of curiosity..." section, but I don't
know who did so I can't fix it.  Please try to make sure you are
properly attributing quoted passages in your posts to the list.)
