Comment (by GaryJ):

 I don't want to derail Ryan's emphasis for creating this ticket, but a
 non-core use case I can think of straight away is for
 [http://tgmpluginactivation.com/ TGM Plugin Activation].

 This is a set of classes that allow a theme to include a plugin (or a
 reference to a plugin on the .org repo) that is considered required or
 recommended for the theme i.e. a plugin that registers a CPT, instead of
 including it within the theme files. Theme Forest make a direct reference
 to it in their
 [http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/472 Theme
 Submission Requirements], so there are more than a handful of folks using
 it.

 TGMPA currently builds it's own page that
 [http://tgmpluginactivation.com/images/plugin-table.png shows] the
 referenced plugins. Being able to filter these plugin references in to the
 standard plugins page, with some indicator that the plugins are not yet
 installed (which would be a new status to consider) would potentially make
 the user flow for those with themes using TGMPA to be considerably
 smoother.

 (Thomas Griffin is in the process of rewriting TGMPA into a new set of
 classes that accomplish the same thing with new features.)
