I think you might be right :)

Note that I didn't see any error on purging nagios3 itself, but trying
to purge nagios3 does lead to issues.

It seems like /usr/share/nagios3/debian/httpd.webapps-common is quite
crufty, in particular referring to /etc/apache2/conf.d rather than
/etc/apache2/conf-{available,enabled} as has been the case since
2.4.1-1. It seems like the helper might be removeable, or at least
updated to use either the correct paths (which in cursory testing allows
for purge to succeed) or a2enconf/a2disconf rather than direct symlink
manipulation.

Would you be willing to file a bug on launchpad against nagios3 for
this?

Thanks,
Nish
