[android-developers] READ_PHONE_STATE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE automatically required?

My app does not require the READ_PHONE_STATE and
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions (there's no clause about this in
the manifest), but it seems they are implicitly added by the SDK when
minSdkVersion is set to 3.

Will the user on a 1.6 or higher phone be queried about these
permissions when downloading my app from the market, or is it only
when downloading it through the browser?

This is a bit of a catch 22 - I support 1.5 and I want to reach this
userbase, yet I do not want to scare potential users by requiring
these extra permissions (which my app doesn't require; it doesn't
write to the sd card nor use the phone function).

Anyone in this group have experience dealing with this issue?

All answers appreciated!

Best regards,
Viktor Linder
