The old version (36) didn't recommend sun-java6-plugin on i386 which 37 does. I don't think that downloading the package and installing it via gdebi is a common use case. It is a recommendation because ubuntu-restricted-extras is a meta-package. The nice thing about recommends is, that you can de-select them.
