Wait moment, why packagekit? I mean as far I remember the plan was to
specify dependencies only from KDE Store not from distro repositories.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367921

Why appstream id? From what I see on KDE Store/opendesktop every file
already have an unique ID. Just an example.
Plasma theme MX Theme
https://dl.opendesktop.org/api/files/download/id/1475562141/

So why not just include that link or any other id used by Get Hot New
Stuff in the metadata file ?

X-KDE-Depends="http://dl.opendesktop.org/api/files/download/id/1475562141/",
and so on.

Dependencies from the KDE store should be a top priority here imho. If
this is going to take more time I am fine with that.

Cheers
Łukasz
