Historically enabling epel has caused problems for this reason - version conflicts etc due to the old/new repo mismatch. Personally I see adding the packages to dlrn-deps as a reasonable solution, as it's not really repackaging, more a different channel for the same RPMs at different versions (which we already do in many places).
