The backports instructions [0] say to build-depend on other backports
only when specifically required by the package being backported.

vkd3d is not required by wine, it is optional.  So, that instruction
would not be met.  Additionally, many users will prefer wine backports
that are not entangled with vulkan and video driver backport updates.
