I'm not quite sure about that. Basically, you're right but I assume the more common case is to have mpd and ncmpc installed on the same system and that most users expect mpd to be (automatically) installed as well. If I downgrade the recommendation to a suggestion, mpd might even be removed by aptitude upon upgrade as it might (I'm not quite sure about that) be marked as unused if no package recommends it any longer - this will definitely confuse a lot of users like hell. As this is only a recommendation you are able to remove the mpd package even if you install recommendations by default. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the pointer.
