Comment:

 In 9757.6.patch: add the changes suggested by @shaunandrews. Only things I
 wasn't sure about are the font-size and color for the h2 (This
 plugin/theme is already installed), and the color/style for the "Replace
 current with uploaded button.

 Please test as much as possible :) Not just by uploading a zip, also
 updating core, plugins and themes through the wp.org API, etc. Ideally
 auto-updates will also be tested, but core, plugins, and themes. Also,
 feel free to commit :)

 > we can add this check to check_package method which validate plugin
 file.

 @mariovalney sure, but lets do this from another ticket (after this is
 committed). This is a bug in the "Install from a zip file" functionality,
 worth fixing even during beta imho.
