I ran into this issue recently where the target system was using /etc/ssh.d/authorized_keys.d/ and had no ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, and so this line would fail. But it was also already configured to allow root access via /etc/ssh.d/authorized_keys.d/, so by not hard failing on the inability to copy ~/.ssh/authorized_keys the install would succeed. This change simply allows it to continue if the copy fails, and so failure (if it exists) will transition to inability to login as root.
