Hey, I noticed something about the uutils-coreutils package in the extra repo. It isn't marked as conflicting or providing the coreutils package at all. Is this a problem at all?

Well, all the tools are prefixed with uu-, much like elfutils has an eu- prefix because it would conflict with binutils. So long as this prefix exists, it can't replace coreutils. But it's there to experiment with.
