Hi Dianne,
I'm not really sure why you brought this up again almost a year after I
asked, but I guess it confirms that this will hardly be in 2.3 (eagerly
waiting...), but I'll still keep hoping for something along these lines
at some later stage.
The recent browser security hole sort of hints that this would be a good
idea for experienced/paranoid users - I don't really see why the browser
needs read access to my SD card (unless it is for caching which probably
could be safely wrapped to a sandbox in some way)
Just my few eurocents / Jonas

No, no android:optional on <uses-permission>. Semantically that is
totally different than what am talking about here, which means to still
allow being installed even if the device doesn't support the library (or
feature since you can do the same <uses-feature>).

Hi Dianne,

As of 2.0 I believe there is an additional attribute on
uses-library that lets you specify that it is optional.
This sounds like a really good step. However, I failed to find it
mentioned in the docs (maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place).
When this works, could we expect it to also work for
uses-permission, as outlined over a year ago? That would be a really
good thing too, IMHO.
Best / Jonas
