For the record, APT::Get::Purge is for apt-get specifically, the
option for aptitude is aptitude::Purge-Unused.  I think that there is
nothing similar for apt which is not for APT::Get.

In aptitude, the corresponding variable was not honoured in some
cases, I am addressing those by checking in the central point when
removing packages, hopefully it will catch all cases.  It would have
been useful to see exactly what was the command of aptitude, or the
log, to know for certain; but in any case now all cases should be
handled honouring that variable.


Cheers.
