Well what I wrote there is only half of the truth... because in Debian, init-scripts are unfortunately and wrongly considered as configuration files... and it's perfectly valid to remove a package but not purge it... So people don't have to "break" their system to get in a situation where they can end up in a situation where they execute e.g. /etc/init.d/cryptdisks stop but their stuff is actually not stopped.
