        On minions running systemd>=205, `systemd-run(1)`_ is now used to
        isolate commands which modify installed packages from the
        ``salt-minion`` daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd
        from killing any apt-get/dpkg commands spawned by Salt when the
        ``salt-minion`` service is restarted. (see ``KillMode`` in the
        `systemd.kill(5)`_ manpage for more information). If desired, usage of
        `systemd-run(1)`_ can be suppressed by setting a :mod:`config option
        <salt.modules.config.get>` called ``systemd.scope``, with a value of
        ``False`` (no quotes).

    Remove packages via ``apt-get purge`` along with all configuration files.

    name
        The name of the package to be deleted.


    Multiple Package Options:

    pkgs
        A list of packages to delete. Must be passed as a python list. The
        ``name`` parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

    .. versionadded:: 0.16.0


    Returns a dict containing the changes.

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt '*' pkg.purge <package name>
        salt '*' pkg.purge <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
        salt '*' pkg.purge pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
