aptitude search ~c | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs aptitude -y purge

This will delete any packages that are not installed anymore which still has configuration files on the box

Handy for removing libraries that is no longer needed on a server. The problem with deborphan is that it only lists packages that are orphaned but doesnt remove them, so I do this:

 for i in `deborphan`; do sudo aptitude remove $i; done

I love BASH :D
