[Debian-uk] Flatpak update asking for root privileges

I'm just trying to run a flatpak update (as a normal user) on my 
Debian system, and for some reason it's asking me to authenticate 
to provide root privileges to upgrade the packages 
org.kde.KStyle.Adwaita, org.kde.Platform.Locale, and 
org.kde.Platform.  It's never done that before.  Is it anything to 
worry about?

(The only directly-installed packages are 
org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher and chat.delta.desktop, those 
KDE ones appear somewhere in the dependency tree.)

Kind regards,
