Many thanks for that. Fortunately it only lists 7 packages here, but, sadly, "sudo apt-get purge ..." won't remove the old config files, since it finds the package missing. I could perhaps reinstall them to tickle it into purging, but it'd probably interfere with the /etc files again. Yuck.
That is... odd. "aptitude purge ~c" is what I do, but IIUC you'll get the same error from that. Agree not worth worrying in your case.
