Hi!

I believe we can now remove golang-github-nebulouslabs-ed25519 from the
archive, I wrote earlier in

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089714

explaining that upstream code is unmaintained, and the functionality
has been integrated into the official Go x/crypto/ed25519 module which
is available in Debian, and should be appropriate and preferred for all
uses.

The final reverse build dependency 'sia' has been fixed to
not rely on this package (the code was fixed many years ago but the
'Build-Depends:' remained in error).

I'm part of the Debian Go Packaging team, which maintain the
package, but I didn't know if team-membership is sufficient to claim a
"ROM" tag or not, so I didn't do that, and added a CC to debian-qa for
additional feedback if anyone has opinions?
