...unless you use --purge flag while uninstalling:
$sudo apt-get --purge remove somepacket
or
$sudo apt-get purge somepacket

Program managers have this option too. At least synaptic has.

exc. from "man apt-get":
purge
           purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and
           purged (any configuration files are deleted too).
       --purge
           Use purge instead of remove for anything that would be removed. An
           scheduled to be purged.  remove --purge is equivalent for purge
