Yes, this was confusing. I updated this file like this
;;; org-install.el --- backward compatibility file for obsolete configuration
;;
;;; Code:
(warn "The file org-install is obsolete.
It is provided here so that (require 'org-install) does not
trigger an error for users with obsolete Emacs configuration.
You can safely remove (require 'org-install) from your config.")
(provide 'org-install)

;;; org-install.el ends here
I hope it is clearer.

Indeed. The main message is: you don't need (require 'org-install)
anymore. It used to be needed to get the correct autoloads but it is
not anymore, as autoloads are taken from org-autoloads.el, which is
either provided (in the distrib tar.gz/zip archives) or dynamically
generated (from "make").

If you use Org from Emacs, you don't need anything.
If you use Org from the distribution archives, you need to add the
directory with the extracted directory in your load-path and to add
(require 'org) after adding the Org directory to the load-path.
If you use Org from git, you need the above plus runing "make" or
"make autoloads" so that the correct autoloads are loaded.
If you use Org from ELPA, you just need to add (package-initialize)
before any Org configuration of the type (setq org-* ...).

I hope I helped to clarify things.
I also remove any reference to org-install in
http://orgmode.org/elpa.html since the ELPA archive is produced
from maint, which is >7.9.2 anyway.
Thanks for the heads up,
