This is a flaw in the RPM spec file.  The --libexecdir is specified to
be just the root libexec directory, and not a program-specific
directory.

Yes.  None of the makefiles install anything into the libexec
directory, so there is no need to set a different $libexecdir there.
The keyserver makefile does install things into $libexecdir, so it
needed to be set.  Basically, the keyserver $libexecdir is correct.
All the others are wrong.
