Comment:

 Adding a filter here is a bad idea.

 Your adding the check in completely the wrong place.

 We could/should add an activation hook themes could use.

 However, a theme should gracefully degrade and work in all scenarios.
 If plugins are missing then the theme should add an admin notice and let
 the user know without causing any php errors / WSOD on the frontend.
