As much as I want to get rid of those packages, I don't try anymore but merely hide the icons in the launcher.
removing facebook removes mp-harmattan-005-pr, which is the meta-package that most of harmattan rests upon. it is FINE to remove this, if you know what youre doing; just dont autoremove all the necessary packages, instead mark them as manually installed.

i routinely remove all these packages:
wxapp apnews realgolf2011 gof2 nfsshift
angrybirdsfreemagic
mp-harmattan-005-pr
facebook twitter twitter-qml

and use apt-cache depends to mark the dependencies as manually installed.
