Makes me wish Android could request some permissions at runtime.
It's painful to have a bunch of permissions in the manifest that aren't used by 100% of users, but 100% of them have to allow them if they want to install the app.
This is exactly why I have yet to install the Facebook app. I want some of its features, but not others; if I could reject certain permissions, I'd have installed it by now.
Once upon a time I would have. But these days, I'm just sticking with the stock firmware. I haven't even rooted it! (gasp) I can live without the Facebook app.

Run Cyanogenmod which includes Privacy Guard and you'll get exactly what you want.
