Unfortunately, enlightenment-bin_0.12.3-1_i386.deb is zero size file.
RPM-file converted to .DEB seems to work.

I think Enlightenment is the coolest window manager I ever used! I used to
think W95 Plus was slick but this is much better. The background pictures
are also excellent (Heavy Metal/seven/Alien/Doom-like), do you know the
author(s)?

I tried the other themes and some of them look very professional. It would
certainly make Debian look better if Enlightenment was the default window
manager, if there is any.

Some notes:
- enlightenment doesn't Depend on imglib (or was this due to rpm-deb 
conversion?)
- default theme packages don't work (debian-menus.ppm not found?)
- if there is error in the configuration, E offers to ignore/restart/quit
but it doesn't work, I have to kill X. Funny, if I first start without WM
and launch E from xterm, it works.
