Looks reasonable to me.  

Although this change will only be reflected in the upstream src.rpm file
on my people site, there is sort of a precedent in RHEL5.  There is a RHEL5
ppc64 Cell/B.E. SPU "crash-spu-commands" package, which is a standalone crash
extension package, and which puts its .so file in /usr/lib64/crash/extensions:

  $ rpm -qpl crash-spu-commands-1.1-1.ppc64.rpm
  /usr/lib64/crash/extensions/spu.so
  /usr/share/doc/crash-spu-commands-1.1
  /usr/share/doc/crash-spu-commands-1.1/COPYING
  $

So its .spec file has this:

  %install
  mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/crash/extensions/
  cp %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/spu.so %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/crash/extensions/

and this:

  %files
  %defattr(-,root,root)
  %{_libdir}/crash/extensions/spu.so
  %doc COPYING

That should work for you right, i.e., changing your "/usr/lib" references
to %{_libdir}?
