I did now.  I just checked in a change which

- drops reading mount points from the registry entirely,

- let the postinstall script (which still should be moved to its own
  package) create /etc/fstab entries from the old system registry
  mount points.

- Sets the Cygwin parent registry keys to HKLM\Software\Cygwin and
  HKCU\Software\Cygwin.

I guess now the way is free for setup.exe to utilize the new registry
locations as well.
