The offending files are:

/usr/share/insecuritydemos also contains...

...so I guess the uninstall aborted?

I did not persist any data or manually modify the contents of these directories. I did not try an apt-get purge. Subsequent attempts to remove or purge the package fail with E: Unable to locate package insecurity-demos. Subsequent re-installation seems to work fine. An apt-get purge, following re-installation, produces the same error.
