ftp://ftp.mandrake.net/pub/enlightenment/oldsrc/ contains Debian .diff.gz
and .changes files for imlib, but not for E itself.

No problemo, just use the old /etc/menu-methods/enlightenment.
Then there is
/usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment-packtheme
/usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment-patchtheme
/usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment-difftheme
for producing packages from themes. Revitalizing them could be a start.
I'd like to help, if possible. E and netscape are the last remaining libc5
packages in my system.
