For an installed plugin, the plugin slug equals the last component of 
the directory name (for wp-content/plugins/akismet, it is akismet).

For a not-yet-installed plugin, it equals the last part of the URL in 
the WP directory, e.g. for Updraft Plus, the URL is 
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/updraftplus, and so the slug can be 
identified as updraftplus.
