Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 how about this: we check if the folder exists. If so, we validate that the
 new plugin files return similar data as the old one (i.e. same plugin
 name, higher version being uploaded, not necessarily same author since it
 may have been maintained by someone new). If true, it's pretty safe to set
 the clear_destination to true.
