 Replying to [comment:290 costdev]:
 > If dependents can't be installed without their dependencies, what does
 this mean for uploading plugins to the site?

 Thinking that dependencies should be listed on the screen after the zip is
 uploaded (where the version info is shown). That list should include the
 status of the dependency (installed, activated), and prevent the
 installation if any are missing or not activated. The list can also
 include the "More Info" links to open the dependency plugin's modal where
 the plugin can be installed and activated.

 Then if all dependencies are installed and activated from the modal, the
 UI can be unblocked so the dependent plugin/theme can be installed.
