If it's planned to have in the futur other dependencies like this or rpm
macros to build perl packages, you can also create a new package
perl-rpmbuild with a require on EUMM (and other required packages to
build perl packages, if needed), with perl-rpmbuild added as buildrequire
on all perl packages.

</I>
Maybe adding this require to rpm-build instead of basesystem-minimal
would be enough.
