Well-behaved apps won't ask for permissions they don't need anyway I would say that this is close to universally untrue -- apps generally ask for permissions that cover the superset of all possible edge conditions, even though only a subset of their users will ever actually need that.. If I'm someone who will never use the contacts feature, for instance, I would love to have the option -- on install -- of saying "Yeah, I understand you want that but no, you aren't getting it". This is a step in that direction.
