Those install-notify messages are annoying, alright. But if a package has any,
it's the package selector's job to display them. If we find that certain of
them are not informative (which is certainly true for many of them), they
should be deleted from the PDB -- where they come from.
Install-notify messages have always had limitations in that they only ever get
displayed if the user explicitly selects a package for installation, not if a
package gets selected via dependencies (including patterns or similar
higher-level package objects).
It's not up to us as the maintainers of the package selectors to decide which
of those messages to display and which not. Displaying them according to the
policy described above was part of the requirement specs for the package
selectors.
