As said on IRC, I think it's better to have just package/efl/ and
package/elementary/.

Having a subdirectory for just two components that currently share
their version, but for which there is no clear statement from upstream
that they will always been doing in-sync releases, is not a good idea
IMO. Let's have two separate normal packages.
