It appears that you only removed the package, not purged it. Removing a 
package leaves config files in place, including scripts in /etc/init.d.

Suggest you run 'dpkg -l "*" | grep "^.c"' to discover which packages need 
purging and then run 'apt-get remove --purge <package>'.
If you switch to aptitude, you can just do 'aptitude purge <package>'.
