Because package.el does the compilation on the user's computer, not the
developer's.

It would be nice to not bother the user with warnings that are not his
fault. All it would take is a global var to prevent the compilation window
popping up. (maybe this exists already and I don't know). The buffer can
still be created, and it can still pop-up if there's an error, but if all
we have are warnings we shouldn't be throwing them at the face of a user
who's just trying to install a package.
