Question #76725 on compiz in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+question/76725

Derek White proposed the following answer:
actionparsnip, I thought the same thing, and while verifying the command
prior to posting it, I was re-read the man file for apt-get and it says
the following:

...
| remove pkg...  | purge pkg...  |
...
remove
    remove is identical to install except that packages are removed
    instead of installed. Note the removing a package leaves its
    configuration files in system. If a plus sign is appended to the
    package name (with no intervening space), the identified package
    will be installed instead of removed.
purge
    purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and
    purged (any configuration files are deleted too).

Even dpkg has reflected this in it's man page:
-r, --remove, -P, --purge package

Has seemed to work for me so far. Maybe it was a recent change to make
apt-get easier?
