Comment (by DD32):

 What permission is used for access to the plugins page? manage_plugins?

 Alternativly, Could add a update_plugins capability, that way it can be
 restricted on a per-role use by the role management plugins?

 I'd support only showing the upgrade if a plugin package is available,
 However, for all intents and purposes, all wordpress.org plugins should
 have it available.

 I dont think anyone has even thought of supporting the 3rd party plugins
 yet.

 If anyone can suggest places for hooks and/or filters in the updater code
 that could be useful.
