As this has been uncommented for a while let me try and address your questions:

* The package installs into the same Plugins/Zenject directory?

No, the plugin installs into a Package/Extenject directory. Since the plugin name is pulled from the package defintion this becomes the new diretory name. Also Unity handles upm packages differently and stores them outside the "Assets" directory.

* How does the GitHub link being advertised/registered? Does it automatically show up in the Package Manager? Is there any further action needed?

The package manager does by default not show existing third party projects. Users will need to add the link by themselves.

* Can updates be made simpler/automated?

Yes. I in fact did this via GitHub actions. The workflow implemented on my fork creates a new commit on an orphan upm branch and tags it with a separate upm version tag once a new version tag with the existing semantic versioning theme is pushed to the repo. This approach sadly discards any history as it creates an orphan branch and also creates the need to create separate upm tags but eliminates the need for a second repository compared to the subtree approach.

* Does UPM automatically detects updates?

If you just specify a branch it will always get the head version of that branch. If you use the upm-extension by @mob-sakai it should be able to detect the most recent version. ~~In the newest version it would not detect earlier versions for some reason though~~ (nvm, it detects them fine after adding it, you can downgrade to earlier versions). If you're not using the extension I think you have to manually delete the reference to the used version from the manifest.json.

* Is there anything what can cause a bad user experience?

As previously stated to use the ui you pretty much should use the upm-extension.

Please feel free to correct me if i missed something @starikcetin :)
