Comment(by Krejzi):
While gobject-introspection is not a big dep to anything that requires
glib, I am against making it recommended for gstreamer packages. Why? It's
gnome which requires gobject-introspection, but it's not just gnome which
uses gstreamer. There is KDE's phonon (gstreamer backend) which uses it as
well, but does not need gobject-introspection for anything. Most people
will install recommended dependencies, so will your scripts, but g-i is
not always necesary for gstreamer. There is a note at gstreamer and
gstreamer base plugins page about gobject-introspection and I think it is
enough.
