 * Original plugin zip files normally have the plugin slug as base path inside the
   zip file (“download-plugin/” in case of this plugin itself). When I download 
   a zip with this plugin, the resulting zip file lacks that folder in the files’
   paths.
 * When uploading such a zip file to a WordPress installation, the result is the
   same as when uploading the original zip file (WordPress seems to handle that 
   automatically). When extracting locally into the file system, I end up with a
   different folder structure compared to when extracitng original plugin files.
