I've noticed this as well - in fact none of the 'balazar' titles are installable. A not-so-good side effect is that a new user trying out the new software center interface for the first time gets met with error messages if they see these games under the Games section and decide that they want to try them out. Has libode0debian1 been replaced by libode1? I see that this file is in the repositories and provides the ODE libraries. If so the dependencies for python-soya should be changed.

I ran into this same issue. My workaround was to download and install the deb form this location

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libode0debian1/download

then install python-soya from synaptic.

    sudo apt-get install python-soya

should now work as well. I do agree that the dependencies should be changed if soya can use libode1

Someone has already brought this up on the mailing list, http://<email address hidden>/msg06177.html. It looks like the current ode breaks soya and there is no upstream activity to fix this.
