Okay, we should apply latest INSTALL_MASK settings when installing a
binary package? That seems reasonable.

I want to respect settings embedded in the binary package whenever it
could be useful, since my intention if for binhost clients to be able to
treat the binhost as a single source of truth, so that binary packages
can be installed without dependency on source ebuild
repositories/profiles, as discussed here:
