[pkg-fso-maint] Anyone working on packaging libeflvala (EFL Vala Bindings)? Or should I attempt to do so?

[Visti Andresen]

I have once again switched back to Debian (from SHR)...
I want to use iliwi[1] (a WIFI GUI) but there are no packages containing iliwi.
So I need to compile/package it.

All build dependencies except one can satisfied using apt-get.
The missing dependency is libeflvala[2].
I have manually "installed" libeflvala and successfully compiled iliwi.
(It works under matchbox, with a minor redraw bug where it only updates its gui when "tabbed",
might not be an issue under Illume)

Which brings me to the question "Is anyone working on packaging libeflvala?"

If no, then I have two additional questions:

What should the package be called?
----------------------------------
libeflvala seems wrong as it is not a actual library that a user installs.
libeflvala-dev seems a bit odd as I then would normally expect that there should be a non -dev version as well.
efl-vala is more like gupnp-vala (UPnP Vala bindings) but does not contain the original name in full.

Package version number?
-----------------------
As git does not use an incrementing version number and there are no "releases" with a X.Y.Z version number.
Should I just use the date of the git commit as version number (git20100126)?

A pure date satisfies http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide section
"2.3 Package name and version" but other packages like fso-frameworkd
has a version 0.9.5.9+git20100131-4.
Any preferences/best practice hints?
