Comment(by WraithKenny):

 The sub-plugins (for lack of a better name) are all within the same folder
 (and therefor the same zip) so upgrades (as well as uninstalls) effect the
 entire collection.

 From Otto's plugin, the sub-plugins do check for the version of the base
 plugin (as common functionality is required from the base), and registers
 activation hooks for each.

 If the base-plugin is deactivated, the sub-plugins are also deactivate by
 this. (But I'm not sure that's important in relation to this ticket.)

 Other then that, the collection of plugins install and uninstall as a
 sinlge plugin, but activate and deactivate as separate plugins. This is
 done simply by putting plugin header information in each sub-plugin as far
 as I see.
