Comment (by LittleBigThing):

 Thanks for the answer and the link!

 Do I understand correctly that minor updates are partial updates (for
 example from 5.2.1 to 5.2.2 or to 5.2.4) and major updates updates of the
 whole package?

 And if so, would it be possible to handle major updates (for example from
 5.2.4 to 5.3) in a similar way? And not only possible but also feasible
 and more sustainable without a negative impact due to the time and energy
 consuming check of file contents, unzipping, ...?

 Also, I suppose that the counter shows the total number of downloads via
 the WP.org API (manual downloads and automatic or manual upgrades). I have
 seen that you can check for the number of downloads of earlier versions of
 WP using a query variable. Only I can't find which one...
