Don't know what purify is, but I presume you're looking for a memory
debugger.

$ apt-cache search memory | grep debug
fda - C malloc debug library
kernel-patch-2.2.13-kdb - Builtin kernel debugger.
task-debug - Debugging of C, C++, Objective C and friends
ccmalloc - A memory profiler/debugger
crash - A kernel debugging utility, allowing gdb like syntax.
electric-fence - A malloc(3) debugger
gccchecker - Memory access debugger for C language development
mpatrol - A powerful library for debugging memory allocations
kernel-patch-kdb - Builtin kernel debugger.

And this URL was pointed out on a mailing list last week:
