What makes sense to you or I is an installation-level decision easily handled
with a umask setting in a wrapper script.

Want do you think of this text added somewhere?:

"The program sa-update uses the underlying operating system umask for the
updated rule files it installs.  You may wish to run sa-update from a script
that sets the umask prior to calling sa-update.  For example:

#!/bin/sh
umask 022
sa-update"
