adam, thank you for diving into this.  when you do 'apt purge weewx' it is 
*supposed* to delete the debconf variables.  somehow yours did not.  there 
is logic in the weewx postinst maintainer script that is *supposed* to 
clean user inputs, but that logic does not validate latitude/longitude.  i 
will add that to postinst.

fwiw, if you need to purge debconf values *without* touching the rest of 
the dpkg/apt installation state, you can do this:

echo PURGE | sudo debconf-communicate weewx

or, even more selectively:

echo RESET question | sudo debconf-communicate weewx

where 'question' is one of the prompts, e.g., 'latlon' or 'altitude' or 
'station_url'
