Yes, these are the actual new dependencies.

Future security updates and buster backports will Suggest
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, although in bullseye it will still be a
recommendation.

I don't think there's any better way to have those packages removed
automatically (certainly not a Conflicts, many people had them
installed anyway). Apart from a couple of MBs of extra used disk
space, is there anything particularly worrying you?
