Thanks for the report, but this is documented. Per 'info install':
• If the ‘--directory’ (‘-d’) option is given, ‘install’ creates each
DIRECTORY and any missing parent directories. Parent directories
are created with mode ‘u=rwx,go=rx’ (755), regardless of the ‘-m’
option or the current umask. *Note Directory Setuid and Setgid::,
for how the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits of parent directories
are inherited.
If you want to create parent directories with specific permissions, you
have to do multiple invocations.
As such, I'm closing this as not a bug, but feel free to add further
comments to this thread.
