Running dpkg with the --purge options *does* cleanly every file used
by the package, unless on of its files has been changed locally or one
of its directly is not empty (e.g. /var/cache/<package> if the package
uses a cache).
Just run dpkg --purge <package> once again if you don't notice any
warning, then you can safely assume that the package has been
completely removed.
Cheers,
