If you remove the package, the existing databases (and thus
/etc/postgresql/<version>/<cluster> are kept, and reinstalling it will
work.

If you purge, /etc/postgresql will go away, but then that's what you
asked for. The directory is called by pg_createcluster, which is used in
the postinst script to create a default 'main' cluster, unless another
one exists already or the package is upgraded (not installed freshly).

** Changed in: postgresql-common (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: postgresql => postgresql-common
       Status: New => Invalid
