Philipp is right here. The technical details:

- the EM calls the function access() in the class ext_update in the file 
class.ext_update.php
- if access() returns TRUE the update icon will be shown with a link to 
call the main() function in ext_update
- in static_info_tables access() just returns TRUE and thus the update 
icon is always shown

If static_info_tables could device a simple and fast test that would 
determine if the conversion needed to be done it could use that in the 
access() function to control the update icon.
