         are not defined here while parsing packages.xml we would
         ignore these permissions being granted to apps and not
         propagate the granted state. From N we are storing the
         built-in permissions in packages.xml as the saved storage
         is negligible (one tag with the permission) compared to
         the fragility as one can remove a built-in permission which
