Sorry. Actually it got removed because I downgraded the pipewire
packages back to the previous version (it's clearer with the
/var/log/apt/term.log* log files).

The ones mentioned below ("Closes: ...").

Indeed, this is what happened with pipewire 0.3.39-1, as I can see
in my dpkg logs and the changelog:
* Change priority order between pipewire-media-session and wireplumber,
WirePlumber is now the recommended session manager.
and this is what led to the pipewire-pulse installation.

More precisely, pipewire-media-session was removed from Recommends
in pipewire 0.3.39-3. I upgraded to this version, and pipewire-pulse
was installed again. So, I downgraded again, so that pipewire-pulse
got removed again.
Then the rollback was done in pipewire 0.3.39-4:
* Re-add pipewire-media-session as an alternative to Wireplumber,
it is now back in the archive as a separate source package.
and pipewire-pulse was no longer installed again on my machine.
Anyway, when I upgraded the vlc package two weeks ago, this had the
effect that PulseAudio was no longer used as the sound server (for
both vlc and ogg123), though pipewire was already installed (due to
a Recommends from libpipewire-0.3-0, itself due to a Depends from
xdg-desktop-portal). The only new package was vlc-plugin-pipewire,
due to
* debian/control: Recommend vlc-plugin-pipewire
pipewire-pulse was not installed.
