As you suggested, I looked in /var/log/dpkg.log and found the purge command that I issued. Just before that, there is a block of 18 or so lines related to nvidia linux-modules and nvidia-kernel-common stuff; three of those are "remove" commands (?) and the rest are all "status" commands (?). The stuff I removed with the apt purge is pretty clear. So I think I'll take a stab at a bug report involving those packages. I think I led you astray - this RTX 3060 is sufficiently new that nouveau doesn't know what it is, so I was trying to revert to the known working nvidia closed-source drivers from whatever was "manually installed".
