Is there also an 'autopurge' option?
Not sure how Aptitude behaves on this but you can append --purge of course. This
will remove config files for the removed and automatically removed packages.

This is good news, AFAIK aptitude seems to purge the requested
package but only _removes_ the dependencies.
Guess I will then use plain apt again.
You can tell aptitude to purge unused packages:
$ man aptitude 2>/dev/null | grep -A3 purge-unused
--purge-unused
Purge packages that are no longer required by any installed package.
This is equivalent to passing "-o Aptitude::Purge-Unused=true" as a
command-line argument.
