That was brain dead suggestion because the -p undoes
the effect of the "touch" and reintroduces the ntsec
problem with cp.
Using the -p to timestamp the file has become unnecessary 
anyway since now base-files-profile only handles files in its
manifest. 
I am afraid a new version is necessary. Sorry about that.
