'remove' tells dpkg to leave the config files alone so that you won't have
to reconfigure if you reinstall later.

dpkg looks in its database and sees that the the package was removed and
that it is not to over-write the config files.

Do 'apt-get purge junkbuster' and then reinstall it. 'purge' tells dpkg to
remove every trace of the package. When you later reinstall dpkg knows
that it is to install the config files.
