Permissions for dhclient-script

Hello!,
I noticed that the permissions of dhclient-script get set to 700, I'm 
guessing from the line in client/Makefile.dist:

$(CHMOD) 700 $(DESTDIR)$(CLIENTBINDIR)/dhclient-script;

My question is: why is this script not world-readable, or permissions 
755 like /sbin/dhclient?

Thanks,
John
