[Bug 411935] Re: Empathy preserves configuration information upon apt-get purge

[Mads Chr. Olesen]

I'm unable to find an authoritative source for this, but purge is not meant to delete files in users' home dirs.
The reference to configuration files is files stored under /etc, which are removed when you use purge.
