I don't think it should, because that would be a circular Recommends
(Depends in one direction, Recommends in the other) which would prevent
x-d-p and its backends from being cleaned up when unused.

I think packages that *use* xdg-desktop-portal, such as Flatpak, should
be the ones responsible for doing this.
