Removing obsolete packages

[Lukas Eppler <debian@fear.ch>]

Hi,

When I remove a package, which contains files also contained in other
packages, is it removed?

Or, if I remove a file from perl-base, is /usr/bin/perl still there
afterwards, because it's contained in the perl package?
Do I risk perl and dpkg to be unable to run by removing perl-base?

The following files seem to be shared:

perl, libnet, perl-base, perl-suid, netbase: /usr/lib/perl5
perl, libnet, perl-base, perl-suid: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux
perl, libnet, perl-base, perl-suid: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00307
perl, libnet, perl-base: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00307/auto
perl, perl-base: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00307/auto/Socket
perl, perl-base: /usr/lib/perl5/File
perl, perl-base: /usr/lib/perl5/auto
perl, perl-base: /usr/lib/perl5/auto/DynaLoader

Gruss
