IIRC, if I keep the same filename for the package source, testing will
automatically handle the removal of the efuns binary. I already
experienced that with one of my packages.
Should I really rename the filename of the source package since it is
the one coming from upstream?

Yes, if it can be compiled...
Sven told me that the xlib bindings have been included in CDK.
Maybe I would rather grad them from it...
