You may want to have a look at 
http://staff.csc.fi/vmattila/software/packages/el5/opendnssec.spec

All of these problems you've described (plus some others) were hit by us, 
too, as discussed here just last week in thread "CentOS RPM distribution"
(see e.g.
http://lists.nominet.org.uk/pipermail/opendnssec-user/2010-April/thread.html)
and suggested resolutions to the problems you noted above (and others)
exist there already.  Feel free to merge whatever you might find useful
from our package into the official / your own ones.  I'd appreciate
feedback as well to improve the packaging.

BTW, is someone actually coordinating the development of RHEL/CentOS
RPM packaging?  Personally I was hoping the opendnssec.spec could be
improved to meet Fedora/EPEL Packaging Guidelines to eventually have 
OpenDNSSEC distributed and maintained by Fedora (and EPEL).
