Comment (by Otto42):

 WordPress does not have "plugin dependencies" built into it. If themes
 have that, then the themes have to have code to add it themselves.

 More to the point, themes in the directory are not allowed to "require"
 plugins. Per the theme submission rules, themes can only suggest plugins,
 they must still function without them. A theme requiring a plugin to work
 would be a reason to use the Report button, and have the theme removed
 from the directory.
