dot-file removal is one of my standard steps when creating a

them?
Yes, that appears to be the case. But it writes them for most files
whether or not they have a resource fork, and of course directories have
the Finder info stored in .DS_Store.
Actually, it stores Finder folder info such as icon sizes, display
options, background color or picture, window size and location, etc.
This is only useful for OS X. Many (if not most) .dmg images contain one
of these files so that when the image mounts, the author's custom
background will display.
