Mike, The package manager only allows you to manage individulal packages. The Freecell source code is shipped in the same tarball as the other default Gnome games, and they are all subsequently packaged in to one binary deb package. This is why you can't remove individual games from your system. Whilst it may be technically possible to split the games in to multiple binary deb packages (allowing you to remove individual games), this would significantly increase the effort required for a developer to maintain this package, all for minimum to zero gain.
