Okay, I've undone all package name changes so they match their sonames.

I haven't looked at these two yet, but hope to have time this week.

I've worked through this.  Provides is not allowed to include a version,
but all other packages (except efl-doc) eventually depend on libeina1.
So I've used it for the Breaks.

There are a few other issues fixes (libelua was missing symbols file),
and I've tightened up the Build-Depends in elementary & e17:
 Build-Depends: libefl-core-dev (>= 1.15.1), libefl-core-dev (<< 1.15.2)

I did this to see if it would work for E 0.19.2 requiring 1.15.2 - but
now I wonder if it is too strict.  Maybe this could make problems when
making new releases?
