Well, png++ was packaged to have the literki keyboard, and is maybe a
bit similar? http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/png++.html. That would
sort out to efl-vala source package with libeflvala-dev binary
package.

I don't feel like an expert in these matters, but I followed the
example from xf86-video-glamo to version literki as
0.0.0+20100113.git1da40724-1.
