Thanks for adding a recent version of enlightenment to Debian! :) Awesome work. Just a couple possible suggestions.

The new version of enlightenment in the experimental Debian repo does not appear to be built with Wayland support and doesn't appear to be selectable via GDM logon. As with the latest releases of Gnome, Wayland support is enabled and selectable via GDM login. Ideally, enlightenment would be built to support both Wayland and X11 variants and by default allow selecting one of the two options (similar to Gnome) via the GDM login prompt options. It is possible that there is support compiled in, but it is not currently selectable via GDM (unsure here). To build in support, you simply compile with the -Dwayland=true option. No idea if GDM will automatically handle raising the option to the user though or if something more needs to be done to enable it.

May also affect the e17 named package.
