The trick is to use dnssec-settime modify the dates built into your key
by dnssec-keygen.  Or equivalently to use dnssec-keygen with appropriate
flags to set the 'Activate' date (not to mention Inactive and Delete)
some time in the future.

So --- this key is active now:

% dnssec-settime -p all Kinfracaninophile.co.uk.+005+04664.private
Created: Sat Aug 13 07:40:28 2011
Publish: Sat Aug 13 07:40:28 2011
Activate: Sat Sep 10 07:40:28 2011
Revoke: UNSET
Inactive: Sat Oct  8 07:40:28 2011
Delete: Sat Oct  8 07:40:28 2011

but this key is only published and will activate in a week:

% dnssec-settime -p all Kinfracaninophile.co.uk.+005+44132.private
Created: Sat Sep 10 09:01:24 2011
Publish: Thu Jan  1 01:00:00 1970
Activate: Sat Oct  8 09:01:24 2011
Revoke: UNSET
Inactive: Sat Nov  5 08:01:24 2011
Delete: Sat Nov  5 08:01:24 2011

dnssec-signzone will grok all the built-in dates and do the right thing
when you sign the zone.

BTW, how does dnssec-signzone behave when you pass -s option? Does it take into account that date when determining whether to use/publish key? Can one for example generate signatures for the future using dnssec-signzone, or is it possible only with careful manual inclusion?
