Well, it actually is related. If gstreamer doesn't find a codec to play some file it will notify banshee about that and call gnome-codec-install (which is part of gnome-app-install) to install the codec. > Just another example: suppose audacious will recommend libregexp-java. > The same situation: of course, user can manually remove this package > after install.

That's why Recommends should be only used for things, that are a) not absolutely required (otherwise it would be a dependency) and b) which most users in most situations want when they install the package. audacious users most probably don't want libregexp-java as it doesn't enhance audacious in a way that is useful to most users (it probably has nothing to do with audacious at all I guess).
