I suppose that's good enough for me, but let's see if anyone responds
within 2 days or I'll do the upload.  I think the documented naming
guide is broken, I think we only rarely follow this advice:

https://go-team.pages.debian.net/packaging.html#_naming_conventions

In your case, that would suggest using 'base85' as the source package
name, which I don't think is a good idea generally.

I usually go with dh-make-golang too, but sometimes when packages are
manually maintained I deviate and then prefer to go with the github
hosting site name since sometimes that is more stable than the Go
namespace used within the package.  I suppose the reverse may be true
for some packages.
