as usual i tried to update my machine, and on `sudo apt full-upgrade` saw this:

as i understand, lib packages in stable-backports has been updated to 26.*
version, while mesa drivers are still 25.* - and since full-upgrade ignores
automatic/manual flags on these packages and may even remove some packages - it
suggest removing drivers, while upgrading library files
```

did i bork my system with apt tweaking/pinning or is it issue with debian
trixie-backports repository?
You don't need the va or vdpau drivers, they've been replaced by the libgallium
packages so I think you're fine:
$ apt show mesa-va-drivers
Package: mesa-va-drivers

Description: Mesa VA-API graphics drivers - transitional package
This transitional package ensures that older versions of mesa-va-drivers
are replaced by mesa-libgallium during upgrades.
.
This is a transitional dummy package, it can be safely removed.
