No, there is not. This is the same situation as when a KDE user wants their 
GTK apps looking like Qt ones, they need to install a GTK theme with their GTK 
dependencies, like gtk2-engines-qtcurve.

Simple suggestion: do not depend on qt5-style-plugins but suggest/recommend 
it. If users ask, point them to install it.

Cheers, Lisandro.
