Hi, It's not strictly needed for server, but it was added for the case where e.g. Kubuntu users want to install checkbox; without this, since KDE doesn't have gstreamer by default, a lot of the multimedia-related tests fail miserably.
A compromise could be moving these recommends to one of the UI packages (checkbox-qt), so they only get installed if it looks like the user is using a graphical frontend. On server we normally use checkbox-cli, which wouldn't pull those gst packages (and neither would base checkbox). I'm curious though, under which scenario are you encountering this problem? checkbox AFAIK is not part of the server CD I think. Let's discuss this and come up with a good solution.
