          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      There's one "base-files" too much.

A few (rather minor) notes:

- I think you should bump the version number.  4.2 or whatever.

- In etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh:

    /usr/bin/chmod 1777 /tmp 2>/dev/null

  This looks gratuitious.  Setup itself already sets /tmp to 1777.
  I never heard of somebody changing the permission of /tmp to
  something else, so it probably doesn't hurt...

- In etc/defaults/etc/profile:

  Just a heads-up.  Be prepared to remove the entire section about
  mkpasswd/mkgroup checking.  It won't work as expected anymore as soon
  as my AD integration code goes release.  Along these lines, I will
  update the base-cygwin package not to create passwd and group files
  anymore.

- Do we still need etc/defaults/etc/profile.d/1777fix.sh?  How long has
  it been?

Other than that, it looks good to me.  I'd say, let's go for it when
you're ready.
