I have no idea why it's touching the file first, but I'd rather use
cp --preserve=mode
and fix the mode bits in /etc/defaults if necessary.
I guess the touch command is from the early days to ensure that all
files get same default permissions regardless of source file permissions.
Removing the touch command would be sufficient. A 'cp' without options
uses the permission mask from source file when a new file is created
(POSIX requirement). Cygport's make_etc_defaults also generates plain
/usr/bin/cp commands.
"cp --preserve" would also copy owner and timestamps.
