Yeah... me too. Resetting the previous value of umask is just a prevention decision because through the program code a lot of files and directories are created. It is necessary to study if other files/directories depends on concrete permissions so that a custom umask value would corrupt them. For all these reasons, I think current patch is a good solution. I have to read more slowly the piuparts code to understand it better, so I'll take a look to this issue.
