Didn't 9907721 (templates/Makefile: don't depend on local umask setting,
2008-02-28) take care of that?
... goes and looks ...
Ah, that is only to propagate the wish of the person who _built_ it.
You probably have a tight umask and have sources checked out unreadable to
others, which is propagated to the installation (check the permission of
files in your templates/blt directory to verify this conjecture). And the
build procedure is honoring your wish to make things unreadable to others.
