Public bug reported:
The simplest reproducer is `echo hello | install -m644 /dev/stdin
existing-file-to-be-overwritten.txt`
This works in coreutils, but fails with rust-coreutils.
I don't think this scripting pattern is uncommon:
```
{
# lots logic which echoes text
} | install <permissions and ownership> /dev/stdin possibly-existing-config-file
```
..which is now broken with rust-coreutils.
** Affects: rust-coreutils (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- install doesn't overwrite files like corutils
+ install doesn't overwrite files like coreutils
