How should APT detect if it is installed on a server? It simply can't
(what is a server after all)

So if you want that to happen, reassign it to a metapackage and ship a
config file in it.

But please report incorrect recommends against the package in question!

A recommends is nearly as important as a depends - recommends are
installed on ALL but unusual system (as debian policy puts it). So if
your system isn't an unusual system (which a server is not, unusual is
an embedded device like my phone) the recommends are wrong and should be
Suggests instead (or in terms of plugins Enhances: on their side of the
dependency tree).
