Suggestions on how to improve it welcome.

Why do you need to do the "extend filesystem" stuff? Or is this a mis-feature of openstack that you're having to work around?

Stephen,

This ks will generate a template to be used to deploy virtual machine on openstack (well, can be used anywhere kvm+virtio) and as such the template should be able to expand itself on the new virtual disk (it will basically be dd-ed to a new, larger file to be used for a VM). Indeed it's a "misfeature" of openstack as they could have used virt-resize to do all this..
