How the package was installed on your system, I don't know, but as you
suspect it was likely a recommendation of another package.
Regarding the issue at hand:
I can see why you consider this a problem. But unfortunately, there is
no way of changing that behaviour, I suspect the behaviour might be
intentional. People have requested this feature upstream (https://
bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432378) and even asked for ways to disable
kdeconnectd (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417615). The latter
bug report could give you ideas how to achieve that.
If this issue poses a serious problem for you, you can remove kdeconnect
from your system. That might also give you a hint why it was installed
in the first place. Upstream KDE actually recommends installing
kdeconnect as part of the Plasma installation. Whether that
recommendation fits the Debian's recommendation, is yet to be determined
and we might have to see over the recommendation.
However, I do disagree about the severity of this. I don't think that
this issue warrants the removal of kdeconnect from Debian and hence, I'm
lowering it to important.
