I already answer this once. Mtree _as_application_ is just userland
program and can't be secure or insecure. It must act how it was originally
designed to make less confuse to users which know this application. And
it was designed with defaults to PHYSICAL.

Since we use this application to create system directories, which _is_
security issue, I add -L to handle that case.
