Are you sure you mean 9.53.3~dfsg-7, not 9.53.3~dfsg-7+deb11u1?

Some upstream changes was backported for -7 and other changes was 
introduced by -7+deb11u1: 
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/g/ghostscript/changelog-9.53.3dfsg-7deb11u1

Possibly related to the recent changes to Ghostscripts SAFER: 
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.55.0/Use.htm#Safer

Perhaps recent pdflatex was adapted to handle the change to SAFER, and 
in doing so became dependent on recent Ghostscript (and perhaps that was 
then not reflected in packaging of pdflatex)?
