The SuppressWarnings annotation type is declared have multiple targets, including modules; however, "package" is left off of its target list. As package-info file are another kind of declaration where a compiler could give warnings, allowing SuppressWarnings in that case is reasonable. Wanting SuppressWarnings in package-info file came up while working on doclint warnings (JDK-8280534). 

Please also review the companion CSR:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8280745

While the SuppressWarnings annotation does have a JLS section (9.6.4.5. @SuppressWarnings), the section doesn't mention the target list therefore doesn't appear to need to be updated.
