So apparently the Maps app that Murena ships with /e/OS isn't acutally a fork of Magic Earth with nothing changed as I suspected before. In reality, it's just an installation of Magic Earth where they've gone in and created an icon overlay to make it look like their own. And you can apparently also remove that mapoverlay with adb to make the icon return back to normal.
I find it to be one thing to just repackage programs like Etar Calendar and ship as your own. But to not even bother to repackage and instead create a foundation.e.mapsoverlay feels a little bit scummy, or?
(for full transparency, I have not dug into murena repos to see if foundation.e.mapsoverlay does anything more, but this is the immediate difference I saw on my screen when I removed it during my debloating process)
