Comment:

 There's currently no way to add upgrade-related information directly into
 the same row as the "There is a new version of (plugin name) available"
 message.

 As I stated in the ticket:
   I know it's possible to add another <tr></tr> row using the existing
 after_plugin_row action, but it would look cleaner to include all upgrade-
 related information in the same row.

 Here's a hypothetical usage example:

 Plugin code:
 {{{
 function myplugin_update_reminder( $file ) {
         if ( 'my_file' == $file )
                 echo "\n\n<br />Remember to backup this plugin&#8217;s
 custom files <a href='(url)'>here</a> before upgrading.";
 }
 add_action( 'after_plugin_update_message', 'myplugin_update_reminder' );
 }}}

 Output example:
 {{{
 <tr><td colspan="5" class="plugin-update">

 There is a new version of (plugin name) available. <a href="(url)"
 class="thickbox">View version 2.0 Details</a> or <a href="(url)">upgrade
 automatically</a>.

 <br />Remember to backup this plugin&#8217;s custom files <a
 href='(url)'>here</a> before upgrading.

 </td></tr>
 }}}
