apt doesn't know about any file the application might have ever created in your home directory.

  Actually, apt does a pretty good job at finding stuff. Sometimes it can't delete, but it warns you about that.

    Apt only knows about the files that are listed in the package.

      Sure, but then that means that honest packages should document all files that the software can be configured to created automatically. Or at least, all but user-specified ones.
