Just so you see the prompt, but you saw it already, so ignore that part.

yes.

purge only tries to delete things it can and ignores any failures. In
local systems I tried, purge always brings back those questions.

This is the regular debconf questions if you want to dig deeper. Or try
to modify the postinst script to strip 'https://' in that host
configuration step.

https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/gitlab/blob/master/debian/gitlab.postinst#L133

Once you modify, build the new deb and try installing that.
