It should not only be removed, but _purged_, which is never done automatically. And the issue isn't about this package being recommended, these old/transitional packages are never removed automatically, just like, say, old libraries which were installed as a dependency and are no longer used. This is how debian packaging works, and trying to mock around it from within maintainer scripts isn't a good idea. BTW, there aren't many packages which recommends qemu-kvm.
