Bug#274288: Purging apt won't delete all configuration files.
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.27
Severity: normal
In the course of dealing with a user's bug, I happened to notice that apt
has no conffiles and doesn't clean up its configuration files on --purge.
Policy requires that packages delete their configuration information upon
being purged. Admittedly, it's kind of silly to purge apt, but it would be
nice if it worked properly anyway.
