Why Ansible apt module to install packages is also removing other packages

Question

I'm trying to install a bunch of packages on a Debian box using Ansible task

- name: Run the equivalent of "apt-get update"
  apt:
    update_cache: true
    autoclean: true

name: Install latest packages
apt:
  name: "{{ packages }}"
  state: latest
  force: true
  autoclean: true
vars:
  packages:

tcpdump
vim
locales
lsof
netcat

.
  .
  etc

When I ran the ansible-playbook in verbose I could see its also removing some of the imp packages.

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libxcb-dri2-0 libxcb-dri3-0 libxcb-glx0 libxcb-present0 libxcb-render0
  libxcb-shape0 libxcb-shm0 libxcb-sync1 libxcb-xfixes0 libxcb1-dev
  libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxdmcp-dev libxfixes3 libxft2
  libxinerama1 libxkbcommon0 libxmu6 libxpm4 libxrandr2 libxshmfence1
  libxt-dev libxt6 libxv1 libxxf86dga1 libxxf86vm1 openjdk-8-jdk
  openjdk-8-jdk-headless openjdk-8-jre x11-utils x11proto-core-dev
  x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev xkb-data xorg-sgml-doctools xtrans-dev
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  libestr0 liblogging-stdlog0 liblognorm5
Suggested packages:
  rsyslog-mysql | rsyslog-pgsql rsyslog-mongodb rsyslog-doc rsyslog-gnutls
  rsyslog-gssapi rsyslog-relp
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  cosmos-base cosmos-jmx  stream-relay
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libestr0 libfastjson4 liblogging-stdlog0 liblognorm5 rsyslog

Why is it removing the packages when I'm trying to install? what's the fix?
