Bug Description
I'd like to add a suggestion/wishlist item: add a "Complete Reinstall" option to Synaptic that runs purge and then install on the backend to completely reset the package. This is useful for cases where a configuration error has left the package in an unusable state, without having to manually track down all the configuration files that may be relevant.
