Looks like a good start.

If the devs can find the time, a short list of requested permissions
and a more fine grained advanced menu would be good. The hardest part
being making sure they are difficult to generically bypass as Google
have found out.

Also an app dev being able to mark some of the requested permissions as
essential perhaps with an optional comment to flag up for an "are you
sure" in the advanced menu without actually forcing that permission
would be good even if devs often just request all permissions to save
themselves time?
