Merge lp:~darkxst/ppa-purge/lp706774 into lp:ppa-purge

[Tim Lunn]

Specify removal of packages (via $REINSTALL) that don't exist in the ubuntu archives. This allows apt-get to handle the ppa purge in most cases.

I have removed the dependency on aptitude, however leaving the fallback code in the script, since there may be rare cases where apt-get will fail if for some reason we are left with missing/unsatisfied dependencies. Although I have not seen this happen in my testing.

Would be good to get this merged. I have noticed some cases where aptitude still fails to work 100% correctly, when running without this patch.
