Yes, my mistake (when checking for removal from unstable). Due to the
API retirement, libnet-google-perl is not functional. For
libwww-search-perl the dependency was dropped later on, for
libperl4-caml-ocaml-dev too.

What about a note for both, for the next point releases at least
explaining that these subparts of both packages are not anymore
functional due to the SOAP search API retired from google's side?
