apt-get install --purge will remove the configurations files of the packages that will be uninstall during the installation. For example, installing sysvinit will remove systemd. --purge remove systemd conf files.
Yesterday I incidently called apt-get with an ending "-". I noticed that I got promped if I wanted to remove the file. My question is if it's safe. I've never heard of anyone doing it so I just wanted to know.
