Comment:

 This looks like a good idea.

 We definitely need to ensure the changes are additive.

 We should also support the same for themes so could you do a patch for
 that too?

 I think the plugin_data_headers filter should be plugin specific to
 encourage correct programming with a helper function for registering for
 it like the activate/deactivate ones.

 That should ensure that plugins are written to use it correctly and saves
 the code you have to check in the action for it being for you.
