Personally I would recommend you use totem-xine rather than
totem-gstreamer, it seems to be able to play a lot more.

Because ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package which pulls in all the standard
delivered ubuntu applications.
If for example you install an ubuntu server - a minimal install with no
GUI, and wanted to turn it into a desktop, you would just install
ubuntu-desktop which would in turn pull in everything else.
Yes, you can remove ubuntu-desktop, but the problem is if that package
has other things which it depends upon which later on down the line you
wont get because you dont have the meta package.

It's the same for every release of Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu with the
meta packages being ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop
respectively.
