The whole point of backports is to avoid this kind of breakage.

I looked at the dependencies of Orca in buster-backports 
(https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/orca).

Seems the only changes are extra dependencies on a couple of gstreamer 
packages and something called xkbset.  All the existing dependencies are 
the same.

HTH,
