It is impossible to suppress initial HTML preamble for directories, i.e.
<HEAD><TITLE>Index of dir</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
It means that it is impossible to change <TITLE> or add any
<META HTTP-EQUIV...> tags to <HEAD> section or change <BODY>

not helps here too).
Fix:
I add "SuppressHTMLPreamble" option to "IndexOptions". When this option
is set _and_ HEADER.html (or what you set as it) is present and readable,
standard <HEAD><TITLE>Index of dir</TITLE></HEAD><BODY> preamble
will be suppressed assuming you have right HTML preamble in your
HEADER.html. It solves all problems mentioned above.

2) Clean up the installation in accordance with BSD religion:
Now all the configs go in ${PREFIX}/etc/apache and the
data (documents) stay in ${PREFIX}/www.
Patch up the distributed configuration files to match /usr/local/www
convention. We really should be patching them to meta-values and then
running sed over them to home them to the right prefix.
