I don't convert ePub to anything unless the code is that sloppy that I want to see what Calibre does to with the mess. I don't convert KF8 to ePub. I use the KindleUnpack to format shift the code and then the editor to clean it up.
I have my ways and when I'm done, the ePub code has not been changed except by me.

The thing is that calibre also insists on it's own directory structure, which I strongly dislike. It is also hard to properly version with things like git, as I never know when something changes.
Also, calibre will always add it's namespace to the opf file when importing a book. It also adds a dc:contributor for itself, a timestamp, and a few more meta properties.
