I don't believe g-b-s "install" command does it any differently. The
whole idea of Cygwin Net Source Packages (here at cygwin-apps) is not
to install live, but to install files into a separate directory --
which in turn -- is converted into an installable *.tzr.bz2 packages
(as above).

Though, I haven't checked in a long time, would anyone comment better?
