I think the behavior of -D should be as a cheap way to do mkdir -p in one with the copying of files and stuffs.
my suggestion is that I should be able to write install -D /path/to/myfile.txt -t /dest/path and that should create /dest/path/myfile.txt regardless of whether /dest/path existed already (obviously assuming I have permission to do so). This seems the most Do What I Mean. having to write out (esp if given long paths) install -D /path/to/myfile.txt /dest/path/myfile.txt seems overly verbose. p.s.
