Public bug reported:

When uninstalling fglrx (e.g. after finding out your graphics card is
too old for that) using purge, the config files generated by the package
remain, specifically

alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_fglrxcore_modconf
modprobe.d/fglrx-core.conf

As they blacklist a number of alternative drivers, notably the open
source radeon driver (alias radeon off), X11 experience is creepy
afterwards (software rendering, no reliable display resolution detection
etc.).

dpkg -S  doesn't show an owning package for above files.
