Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 @mike: If any, my main point is that this depend should be in a readme
 file. If a plugin has known depends, we'd want to add a Depends: field,
 either in the plugin's file or in its readme file, and have WP refuse to
 install the plugin (or automatically install and activate its depends) if
 the depends are not present.

 That plugins aren't all hosted on wp.org should not be a valid argument.
 It's very possible to look at the plugin/readme headers from within WP
 before activating.
