Not sure about the rest of your questions, but you can use apt-get to remove
a package, and it removes those packages depending on it too. Type:
apt-get remove pkgname
or
apt-get --purge remove pkgname (to purge the old config files)

I know that has to do with /etc/apt/preferences, but I don't remember
offhand what the syntax is. Anyone?
