This looks like a bug in the debian libgstreamer0.10-dev dependencies list. 
Since libcheck is linked statically into libgstcheck-0.10 (which comes with
libgstreamer-0.10), libgstreamer0.10-0 does not need to depend on the check
package, but since libgstcheck's headers include check.h, at least the -dev
package needs to depend on the check package.

The gst-plugins-good configure check in CVS checks for libgstcheck, which
should be sufficient.

The reason it only happens with -good is probably that that's the only module
which has disabled unit tests for which we use the noinst_PROGRAMS, which is
built on 'make' and not only on 'make check' like the others.  I'd guess that
if you built gst-plugins-base from CVS and then did 'make check' in tests/check
that wouldn't work either.
