It depends on whether you think you might reinstall the package at a future date and therefore want to keep the configuration files.
Personally, however, I always remove the package completely:
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove packagename
This removes the package, its configuration files, and any dependent packages that are no longer used by any other packages.
If you want to go the whole hog, you can also remove the user-specific configuration files/directories which you normally find in (often hidden) subdirectories in your home directory e.g. /home/hydrurga/.Skype/ for the Skype package.
