Android Support SDK version 5.1.1 is adding multiple permissions to our manifest file

Hello Zendesk,we are using your Android Support SDK version 5.1.1 (com.zendesk:support:5.1.1).
 

We realized that this SDK is adding multiple permissions to our manifest file:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" />

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" />

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO" />

They seem to be originating from this dependency that is included in the support one: com.zendesk.belvedere2:belvedere:3.0.5
 

As Google has announced stricter policies for these permissions we are looking to remove them from our app. (https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/14115180?sjid=14273193499129269152)

We are not using any photo/video picking functionality through Zendesk, so we want to check if can we remove these permissions safely from our manifest without interfering with basic zendesk functionality?
We also couldn't find any info in the docs about this dependency (belvedere2) or adding this file picking functionality through it.

Thanks for your help
