A new SRPM and spec (same url as before) are available:

 SRPM: http://grid.et.redhat.com/files/condor-6.9.5-0.3.20070907cvs.src.rpm

The unstripped-binary-or-object and no-soname warnings have been removed by
removing the libcondorapi.so in favor of the libcondorapi.a, which I've been
told by upstream is what people use anyway. This means the -devel package has
actually been replaced with a -static package.

After looking through the maze of pages about users and groups (including the
user registry) it appears that user creation is acceptable when accompanied by a
good reason. For this case, the condor user owns all the daemons run in the
condor system and the files under /var/lib/condor, which includes files
associated with jobs that are sent to a machine for execution. It is desirable
to have a known owner for all such files.

The permissions on /var/lib/condor/execute are intentional as it is a world
writeable directory and it is desirable to take advantage of restricted deletion
(sticky bit).

Also, the empty debuginfo package has been fixed by using unstripped binaries
for the primary package.
