AFAIK those messages are under the control of package.el, so we
can/should simply fix those. E.g. compilation shouldn't emit any
messages, since warnings and such should go to a buffer instead.
Basically when installing a (set of) packages, there should only be
3 messages, only the last 2 being "asynchronous":
downloading...
installing...
installing...done
