If I investigate my package installations with the following commands:
	apt list qml-module-org-kde-newstuff
	aptitude why qml-module-org-kde-newstuff
	apt rdepends qml-module-org-kde-newstuff

then I am shown:
that it was drawn in as a dependency:
qml-module-org-kde-newstuff/stable,now 5.78.0-4 amd64 [installed,automatic]

and that several packages could depend on it or could recommend it:

i   plasma-desktop      Depends    plasma-desktop-data (= 4:5.20.5-4)
i A plasma-desktop-data Recommends qml-module-org-kde-newstuff

Reverse Depends:
	Depends: knewstuff-dialog (= 5.86.0-2)
	Depends: systemsettings
	Depends: plasma-systemmonitor (>= 5.78.0~)
	Recommends: plasma-desktop-data
	Depends: peruse
	Recommends: libkf5newstuffcore5 (= 5.86.0-2)
	Depends: knewstuff-dialog (= 5.78.0-4)
	Breaks: libkf5coreaddons5 (<< 5.42)
	Breaks: libkf5attica5 (<< 5.42)
	Depends: artikulate
	Depends: plasma-systemmonitor (>= 5.66.0~)
	Recommends: plasma-desktop-data
	Depends: peruse
	Recommends: libkf5newstuffcore5 (= 5.78.0-4)
	Breaks: libkf5attica5 (<< 5.42)
	Breaks: libkf5coreaddons5 (<< 5.42)
	Depends: artikulate

So, these are the candidates which could have let install it 
automatically. However, I almost never let install recommends and the 
list also shows packages which I actually have not installed at all. It 
pretty much looks like plasma-desktop-data drew it in, but I am quite 
sure that I installed plasma-desktop without recommends (apt install 
--no-install-recommends) and therefore would expect that also its 
dependency plasma-desktop-data should have been installed without 
recommends. But about this last point I am not sure how apt handles it.
Unfortunately I also do not find in the apt command's "term" or 
"history" logs, or the dpkg logs which package finally did draw it in, I 
can only find the date when it was installed together with many (too 
many!) other packages at a certain date, probably the day when I 
upgraded from buster to bullseye.
Therefore I cannot help you to localize the package which indeed was 
responsible to draw it in.

If someone could teach me how to narrow down from the candidates to the 
finally responsible package, or some other approach how to derive the 
searched for information, then I could continue to investigate my system 
for you. Otherwise I am stuck and wouldn't know how to help you more.

Best wishes,
Marco
