install sets execution permissions on files

Hi. I'm unsure if this is a bug but since I failed to find it documented
anywhere or discussed on this mailing list here is the question:

 $ touch foo
 $ install foo bar

install copies foo file to bar but it also _sets execution permissions_
on bar. `info install` states:

   * If two file names are given, `install' copies the first file to the
     second.

and nothing about permissions. So why install sets execution permissions
on normal files? Should this be fixed on install or will you accept
patch for documentation?

In any case, thanks for your time,
-- 
Peter.
