Honestly, I don't really see an issue with that. It seems no more annoying than Windows UAC or Linux sudo popups. It's a reminder that your app may have some behavior that you wouldn't expect from the regular sources. Mainly that it may not get regular updates along with the rest of the apps on your phone.

Of all the annoying things that Google and Android do this is pretty minor.
