Reading the source, it appears that the updater looks at __init__.py for the reference to a plugin base class. If it doesn't find it then then it looks at the imports. Once it finds a class that inherits from a plugin base class then it looks in that class for the author/version info.
My problem is that I can't actually see what the updater generates so I am not sure of my assertions.
