This appears to be because gcc-5 and dbus both build-depend on doxygen,
which build-depends on Qt 5 (popcon: around 30K) for its optional GUI,
which has ODBC as one of many backends (popcon: 130) for its database
library (popcon: 20K). If ODBC becomes a serious problem and still isn't
fixed, it wouldn't be the end of the world if the Qt maintainers had to
remove its ODBC support.
All of these packages should be safe from the autoremovals axe in any
case, because gcc-5 is transitively Essential, dbus is Priority: standard,
and Qt is a key package (depended on by at least the KDE desktop task).
