dak sees no problems (e.g. broken build-dependencies) in the removal:

dmn at coccia:~$ dak rm -n -R -s sid libogre-perl
Will remove the following packages from sid:

libogre-perl |     0.60-1 | source, ppc64el
libogre-perl |  0.60-1+b2 | amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, sparc
libogre-perl |  0.60-1+b4 | s390x
