Comment (by jorbin):

 Sorry for not having brought this back here right after we talked so I'll
 summarize what @costdev and I had talked through.

 There are three places we could consider for a notice right now: Inside
 the model, inside the card, and at the top of the page. All three have
 some sort of drawback, but having the same information presented in three
 places is going to negatively impact users and create information
 overload. The idea of putting it in the model and at the top of the page
 is that it is a short term fix for the time from 6.5.3 until a better
 solution can be developed (though #61040).

 Additionally, The reason why auto-redirecting isn't a good option right
 now is the question of when do you do that in a multi install process? If
 your goal is to install a plugin with a dependency, should that dependency
 redirect you away from installing the plugin you wanted to install to
 begin with?
