I think the main reason this has become a bigger issue is Automatic Updating in Froyo. Since then, you have to manually update the app if the permissions change. Otherwise, the app will automatically update(if you allow it during installation). I always look at the comments now for an app that requires a manual update. Many times they are introducing adds or farming your data. Unfortunately it makes it so companies that are playing nice will be seen as doing evil. I for instance, did not update Angry Birds until I read this post. I was thinking they were farming my data to help boost their profits.
