I was surprised by this, but it's caused by
https://bugs.debian.org/745475: the autoremovals machinery treats
"Depends: a | b" as though it was "Depends: a".

In this case, it sees g-r-d depending on
pipewire-media-session | wireplumber (presumably done in that order to
avoid accidentially switching people from PulseAudio to pipewire-pulse
if they hadn't intended that) and interprets that as meaning the
disappearance of pipewire-media-session will require autoremoval of
gnome-remote-desktop.
