Packages in Extras aren't supposed to obsolete packages in Core. I'm pretty sure
about this but can't actually find where it's documented. It may be worth
bringing up on fedora-extras-list.

I believe that gutenprint will eventually make it into Core. At that point,
gimp-print will go and it'll be safe to include the files that conflict with it.

perl-Curses is already in Extras.

A module providing perl(perlmenu) [not perl(Perlmenu)] would need to be provided
as a submission for Extras before gutenprint could be properly reviewed. It's
possible that that module may itself have additional dependencies.

Do you know which program in the gutenprint package is responsible for these
dependencies? Another possible option might be to not package that particular
program if it's not important.
