Good day Sven,
It seems to be pulled by "task-gnome-desktop", either by
dependency, or mere recommendation, I don't know. From the
quick test I did, it appeared in the list of packages to be
installed:
$ sudo apt install task-gnome-desktop
This looks like a component of Debian default installation from
now on; unless I misunderstood the role of task-* packages.
Hence the sudden rise in popularity.
Kind regards,
