Is it normal for non-iis not to be reduced to 0? How to get rid of the numerous rcs?
dpkg --purge ...

You can either manually list the non-ii packages there or use some bash/awk magic.
I'm not going to publish a solution that purges a huge number of packages which someone might try ten years hence and do themselves a lot of harm.
