Hi Jonathan.  Here are my quick notes, although I wasn't able to build as there is no
upstream source.

* rename git repo and source package to golang-github-dustinkirkland-golang-petname
* remove unneeded override_dh_install target from r/rules
* maybe add remark about d/update-wordlists.sh to d/README.source?
* remove unneeded lintian overrides
* add upstream and pristine-tar branches (running "gbp import-dsc --pristine-tar" should do the trick)
* are d/*.install files necessary?  I thought the binary and manage were installed automatically by other parts of dh
* update Vcs-* fields
* set section and priority to "devel" and "extra"
* set homepage to project github page
* is dh-exec used anymore? if not remove from B-Ds

The source and binary package names are a bit irksome.  Technically the source package should
be golang-github-dustinkirckland-golang-petname and the binary package the same, but that's
such an awful name for a binary package - golang-petname is much better.  That leaves:

source package: golang-github-dustinkirckland-golang-petname
package with binary: golang-petname
dev package: golang-github-dustinkirckland-golang-petname-dev

Which I think isn't too bad.
