3.  The expand-template program, which is provided to allow ad-hoc
    expansion of templated configuration files, has been enhanced to
    retain ownership and permissions of output files.

...

The expand-template program was never intended to recursively expand
templated files within a directory. If it did so at some stage, then that
was a bug - which we have now fixed (apparently).

Thanks
