This is purely an issue for Google with their gmail application. I don't know that much about what goes on with the Google apps, but I suspect it is very unlikely for there to be an API like this. At the very least, I would say giving the user access to read all of your e-mails is *way* more serious than just throwing it behind an install-time permission. Consider other things that need more than that: IMEs, device admins, etc.
So I would not hold my breath for this.
