I'm not sure if this list is aware of this specific debian meta-package, but this reads like a scary packaging mistake that needs fixing asap. I think this would probably be sent to the Debian packager for git-all.

Are you sure this only happens when you run apt install git-all? Cheers! -Santiago [1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/git
