Bug Description
ndisgtk was installed to test if a USB wireless modem could be enabled using ndiswrapper. It did not so it was 'purged' and so was ndiswrapper-common. However, the ndiswrapper modules are still being loaded. Removing and inserting the USB wireless modem results in the following syslog entries
Oct 12 21:58:00 osiris kernel: [ 494.006015] usb 1-7: USB disconnect, address 5
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [ 498.368050] usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [ 498.518386] usb 1-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [ 498.570974] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [ 498.580555] ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [ 498.583130] usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper
This can be disabled by blacklisting ndiswrapper, but this still does not cause the original modules for the USB wireless modem to be loaded.

This is in my opinion expected. You need to remove the driver using ndisgtk or the ndiswrapper- command- line-tool.
