By default Scribus will rasterize a placed PDF. That may give a bad
quality, depending on the PDF and the printing method.

That's why the warning is there.

Newer versions of Scribus can export a placed PDF as "a PDF in a PDF"
so it will remain "vector" format, but I think that in the 1.3.x
series that feature is considered experimental and does not work well
with color management.
