Public bug reported:

Expected:
After removing apache2 via 'apt remove --purge ^apache2*' all files and directory should be purged from the system.

What happend:
After purging of apache2 /etc/apache2 still exists.
The only file, that still exists is within /etc/apache2 is: /etc/apache2/conf-available/javascript-common.conf 

This probably prevents the removal of /etc/apache2

Reproduce:
fresh install Ubuntu bionic
apt update
apt install apache2
apt remove --purge ^apache2*
ls /etc/apache2
