Comment(by scribu):

 By the way, I think it wouldn't be that hard to allow multiple
 plugin/theme upgrades through a single .zip file.

 Here's how it could work (for plugins):

  1. Unzip archive.
  2. Scan all extracted files for plugin headers.
  3. Match any found plugins with the currently installed plugins.
  4. Show a confirmation screen to the user about which plugins would be
 upgraded.
  5. Do normal upgrade procedure for matched plugins.
