I really can't understand how someone can suggest to fake packages using equivs instead of using the "Recommends:" header as it's thought.
The Policy says in 7.2 very clearly "in all but unusual installations", so nobody can't use users "who just want it work" as argument. Debian's default is btw. to install recommended packages anyway. Another reason why users "who just want it work" are _no_ argument against using "Recommends:" header. X.org not only runs on fat workstations but also on embedded device where you as less abstraction layers and diskspace used as possible. Debian always claims to be "the _universal_ operating system" and it should also package X.org to be universal. Debian is not (a desktop focussed) Ubuntu. I herewith vote for demoting hal (#515214) and console-setup (#523960) to recommends.
