If you change the name of the ebuild to reflect the new name of the 
project, it will change automatically.  If you want to keep the ebuild 
name, you need to use:

   mirror://sourceforge/impressive/Impressive-${PV}.tar.gz

This however will still keep the version number of the ebuild.

The general form of sourceforge SRC_URIs is:

   mirror://sourceforge/projectname/filename

Since "projectname" is usually the same as the ebuild name, you use "${PN}".
