when trying different adb arguments to list permissions, I noticed that 
some permissions appear only when using the "-g" argument (which organizes 
the listed permissions according to their groups. see -g: Organize by 
group, in http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#pm)

here's an example:
"android.permission.SEND_SMS"  appears in the API JavaDocs: 
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#SEND_SMS
"android.permission.SEND_SMS" is defined in 
https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/res/AndroidManifest.xml
 
and belongs to "android.permission-group.MESSAGES" group.

when using adb with the Android SDK emulator:

1. "adb shell pm list permissions" output does Not include SEND_SMS
2. "adb shell pm list permissions -g" output Does include it:

group:android.permission-group.MESSAGES
>     ... other permissions...
>   permission:android.permission.SEND_SMS
>


any idea why adb is not showing it? 
Is this a bug in adb, or am I missing the reason why it shows only with 
"-g"?

thanks!
