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,
