What's the difference between "Mark for Removal" and "Mark for Complete Removal" in Synaptic Package Manager?

When I right click on a package in Synaptic Package Manager it presents selections for removal and complete removal. What are the differences between these options?

"Mark for removal removes the package, but not the configuration files associated with the package. It is equivalent to

apt-get remove package_name

Mark for Complete Removal purges the package, i.e. removes both the package files and its configuration. It is equivalent to

apt-get --purge remove package_name

From the Synaptic Package Manager manual:

3.2. To Remove Packages

Configuration files and user created
data (e.g. a website in ""/var/www"")
are not removed from the system by
default.
Debian only: You can change the default behavior in the preferences.

Debian only: To remove all files
related to the package choose Mark for
Complete Removal instead of Mark for
Removal."
