This is intented behaviour, since you no longer have any need for
gcompris-sound-en you should uninstall it as well.

My idea behind this is as follows:
-one or more applications can use assetml format data, they
 Provide /usr/share/assetml
 (In the case of childsplay directyl, because it has a build in (python)
  assetml parser, in the case of gcompris through libassetml whihc gcompris 
  Requires).
-assetml data packages Require: /usr/share/assetml
-if all users of assetml data get uninstalled, then the assetml data packages
 must be uninstalled too, since they Require: /usr/share/assetml which then
 no longer is provided.
-This having to remove assetml data packages when tehre are no more assetml
 data users is imho a feature not a bug :)
