    <package>_
        Purge <package>: remove it and all its associated 
        configuration and data files.

[...]

remove, purge, hold, unhold, keep, reinstall
    These commands are the same as "install", but apply the named action 
    to all packages given on the command line for which it is not 
    overridden. The difference between hold and keep is that hold
    will cause a package to be ignored by future upgrade commands, while 
    keep merely cancels any scheduled actions on the package.  unhold will 
    cause a package to be upgraded by future upgrade
    commands, without otherwise altering its state.
