Put the dev's explanation for needing a given permission on a different screen. So the existing permissions UI stays mostly the same, except for the addition of a button labeled something like "Why?", which is only shown if the dev has included a new, optional, reason="" attribute in the uses-permission element. When the button's pressed, it pops a simple dialog showing the reason text the dev supplied.
