Originally, I meant importing upstream, not renaming.  I left the name
"e17" alone just to reduce change, and keep things simpler.  It is
misleading, and I like the idea of fixing it.

But lintian doesn't like "e".  It triggers source-field-malformed,
citing 5.6.1 of the policy manual.  "enlightenment" is another
possibility.  I thought that was used by DR16 packages, but the
changelog indicates it was "e16".
