I think this happens when you R CMD build, not when you INSTALL.
Writing R Extensions tells us:
"The ?BuildVignettes? logical field can be set to a false value to stop
R CMD build from attempting to rebuild the vignettes, as well as
preventing R CMD check from testing this. This should only be used
exceptionally, for example if the PDFs need large figures which are not
part of the package sources."
