Yes.  Plus depending on whether the Synaptic install put things in the default locations that CVS will, you may wish to delete your ~/.xastir/ directory and contents as well.

If Synaptic put Xastir's map directory at /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/ then you can probably skip the ~/.xastir/ directory deletion.  If it put it anywhere else, then it's easier just to delete your per-user config directory and let the new Xastir create a fresh one for you.  Be aware that if you do delete it, your callsign/location/internet connects/etc will need to be redone in the new Xastir.
