Well I guess a lot depends on how we're intending these option bundles 
to be handled and used.

What will happen when a user selects one?  Is the PPD updated with the 
settings from within the option bundle, or does the bundle get 
"installed" somewhere, and merely referenced by the PPD?  Is the PPD 
format flexible enough to handle directly such things as calibration curves?

If a Gutenprint client, such as rastertogimpprint can get all the 
information it needs, including calibration curves, though the normal 
CUPS option system, then Gutenprint can avoid being directly involved 
with parsing or writing.

All the best
