I can't commit to complete this, but I may randomly help and take a
look.  I think ptutil should be packaged first, and it seems we started
to work on that about the same time:

https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-gitlab.torproject-tpo-anti-censorship-pluggable-transports-ptutil
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-ptutil

I opened an ITP bug for it: #1091143.  The package is trivial so I think
the only question is about the name...

I kind of prefer your 'golang-ptutil' for the source package, or
possibly 'golang-torproject-ptutil' to be a bit more descriptive, but in
the other thread about naming it was suggested we shouldn't be afraid of
the dh-make-golang standardized names, so that means
'golang-gitlab.torproject-tpo-anti-censorship-pluggable-transports-ptutil'.

For the binary package, isn't there some advantage in using a Debian
package name that matches the Go namespace?  I have been assuming that
'dh-make-golang' and other tools find it easier to automatically guess
the right package name.  So
'golang-gitlab.torproject-tpo-anti-censorship-pluggable-transports-ptutil-dev'
rather than 'golang-ptutil-dev'.
