Declared permissions

[vertigo220]

Many of the apps say "Declares # permissions" but it's not really clear what this means. I assume it means how many are declared in the app manifest, but it doesn't make any sense, since there's always a discrepancy between declared vs requested/granted. Some are minor, such as 1 declared and 4-5 granted/requested, but some are extreme, e.g. 119 of 163 granted with 2 declared. This doesn't make any sense, and having some context would help, as well as being able to see what permissions are declared.
