I'm seeing this too, with ~100 texlive packages pulled in on upgrade
in a VM.  I think this is caused by new dependencies between texlive
package. E.g.  I had texlive-kpathsea installed, presumably because it
is required by texlive-dvipng which is required by python3-matplotlib,
and upon upgrade this pulls in texlive-context, which pulls in
texlive-pstricks, which pulls in texlive-biblatex, which pulls in
texlive-xpatch, and so on. The dep was added back in #1270202.

Dunno. python3-matplotlib pulling in the whole latex stack is going to
be painful. Maybe we could "downgrade" the dependency in python-matplotlib
to something like
   Recommends: dvipng
   Requires: (dvipng if texlive-base)
?

(Though of course in your case the dependency path might be different.)
