The OpenCA way of doing this is to have a different "Role" for each
certificate type. So I would have a "Sign" role where the key usage is
set to:
keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature  extendedKeyUsage: TLS Web
client authentication, E-mail protection

and a "Encrypt" role where the key usage is set to:
keyUsage = keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment, keyAgreement

This is how I do it on my CAs. There was a discussion thread about 18
months ago on this list which basically said that this is how to do it !
