The following code within void writePackageLPr() of
platform_frameworks_base / services / java / com / android / server /
pm / Settings.java seems responsible for system packages not getting
their permissions dumped to the packages.xml file (unless they use a
shared userid, in which case a different function does dump those out)

if ((pkg.pkgFlags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM) == 0) {
serializer.startTag(null, "perms");
if (pkg.sharedUser == null) {
// If this is a shared user, the permissions will
// be written there. We still need to write an
// empty permissions list so permissionsFixed will
// be set.
for (final String name : pkg.grantedPermissions) {
serializer.startTag(null, "item");
serializer.attribute(null, "name", name);
serializer.endTag(null, "item");
}
}
serializer.endTag(null, "perms");
}

(This code used to be located elsewhere, the pm/ directory seems to be
a reorganization)
