If opencv2 is broken (the package’s only AUR dependency, so not sure how “several” of them can be broken), then it would seem more appropriate to take it with that package’s maintainer rather than immediately request the deletion of a package that happens to depend on it.
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ssimulacra [2]:
Discontinued niche scientific package from 2019. Unbuildable due to several of its legacy library depends on AUR are broken. 0 votes, and last comment is from 2019. Seems safe to delete for lack of user demand alone.
