Let's imagine these steps on a clean base system:

# apt-get install dhcp-probe
... (dhcp-probe, ucf and other dependencies are installed) ...
# apt-get remove dhcp-probe
... (dhcp-probe is uninstalled, with conffiles left) ...
# apt-get remove ucf (or apt-get autoremove)
... (ucf is uninstalled) ...
# dpkg --purge dhcp-probe
... ("dhcp-probe.postrm purge" is called to purge the conffiles,
     without ucf present) ...

Hope this helps.
