<sorry to sage and somnath for double-post -- ceph-devel got me with plain text 
again.  :) >

On Debian/Ubuntu, the uninstall/purge will remove the following packages:

ceph
ceph-mds
ceph-common
ceph-fs-common.

Ironically, ceph-deploy will spit out on the CLI that it does *not* remove 
librados2 and librbd1, because yes that would break qemu/libvirt.  The intent 
is to leave those libraries.

I wonder if something has changed along these lies.  those libraries should 
have stayed on the host.

So I am curious what ceph-deploy command you actually ran.
ceph-deploy should not be able to uninstall librados2 or librbd1, but you 
mentioned that you purged them.  How?  Was it through ceph-deploy?
