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. The residual files seem to be completely harmless. Thanks also for the /etc/network/interfaces suggestions.
