The initial HTML formatting should be as used by your current Excel solution, simple table with headings.
In addtion I would suggest to have different colors for different states.

Example:

Installed ... Nothing (may be add option to not show this at all)
Missing ..... Red
Upgrade ..... Yellow
Downgrade ... Orange
To Remove ... Brown

Those colors should be customizable via CSS, where the external CSS file is a good option.

Since the JS file will be located in the tools subfolder, I would go the root to check for the wpkg.js file, which has a fixed location.
This way the root wpkg folder would be kept as small as possible.
