"e" is just the name of the git repo - they follow the upstream
convention.  The binary package is already renamed.  The source package
will remain "e17" to avoid losing info on the source package page.

Check /usr/share/doc/git-buildpackage/manual-html.  The manual is pretty
good.  For the package repos, something like this will get you started:

gbp buildpackage \
  --git-debian-branch=debian/sid \
  --upstream-tag='v%(version)s'
