You reference the remote procedures/functions the same way as you reference remote tables, views, etc.
e.g.:
remote_procedure_at_db_link(<parameters>)
schema.remote_package.package_function_at_db_link(<parameters>)
Of course, you can create synonyms to "hide" the fully qualified names.
On the other hand, you have another alternative: create a local procedure and inside that procedure you reference the remote tables. This way the procedure will execute on the local server.
The decision between remote/local procedure may depend on each server's load and the logic inside the procedure.
