I didn't say that to avoid additional "if" statement in my sugestion:
*if* you have gpm installed (check it with dpkg -s gpm) do gpmconfig,
if not, install gpm and *if* it doesn't ask you to configure (existing old
conffiles) do gpmconfig.

dpkg --purge gpm
dpkg -i gpm*       
looks much simpler :)
