The package mp-fremantle-generic-pr depends on all the games, so uninstalling the games will remove that package as well, which removes the ability to do SSU upgrades.

However, you can create fake packages using "equivs" from Debian that contain no data, but provide (and conflict with) the relevant game packages:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/equivs

(i.e. create a package that provides, conflicts with and replaces "osso-lmarbles", and then install it on your device, which should keep the dependencies satisfied, but removes the game contents which should save some space)
