lookandfeel and dependencies (and potentially all kde-store related stuff)

Hi all,
in plasma 5.8 a new option to download look and feel packages from the kde 
store appeared.
since it's possible for a look and feel package to depend from external stuff 
(for instance, 3rd party icon theme and whatnot) how to manage that?

I was thinking about kpackage metadata file containing a list of appstream-
compatible names for dependencies, then packagekit would figure out dependency 
packages to install.

this will probably become an issue for plasmoids too and potentially a lot of 
content offered trough the KDE store.

would an approach like that make sense? any other ideas/opinions?
