You can't actually know what features you don't use, so it would be broken to assume that you use a feature when you don't explicitly say so.
The only exception is that for compatibility some features are assumed based on permissions -- for example if you use the camera permission and don't say anything about the camera auto-focus feature, it is assumed you require auto-focus. At any rate, you will see this in the output of "aapt dump badging".
