Bug#895897: how to purge removed packages without breaking your fingers

[Harald Dunkel <harald.dunkel@aixigo.de>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.4.8
Severity: wishlist

There are some weird constructs floating around about how to
purge removed packages, see

https://askubuntu.com/questions/687295/how-to-purge-previously-only-removed-packages

for example. And

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html

mentions only "aptitude purge '~c'".

This could be improved.

Please reassign, if necessary.


Thanx in advance. Please keep on your good work
