Hmm,
no it was src:python-libnacl (bug 1817327) -> src:libsodium (bug 1621386).
Sounds rather similar chemically, but not the same src package :-)
Never the less I think the review stops at step I - "check for
duplicates" :-/
It really is the same thing:
src:nacl
15 Description: NaCl and CurveCP tools
16 NaCl (pronounced "salt") is a new easy-to-use high-speed
17 software library for network communication, encryption,
18 decryption, signatures, etc. NaCl's goal is to provide
19 all of the core operations needed to build higher-level
20 cryptographic tools. Tools include basic programs to
21 deploy CurveCP message-handling.
src:libsodium
16 Description: Network communication, cryptography and signaturing library
17 NaCl (pronounced "salt") is a new easy-to-use high-speed software library
for
18 network communication, encryption, decryption, signatures, etc.
19 .
20 NaCl's goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to build
21 higher-level cryptographic tools.
22 .
23 Sodium is a portable, cross-compilable, installable, packageable fork of
NaCl,
24 with a compatible API.

Proposed use case was:
- libssh (used for curve25519)
Per [1] that is in sodium as well.
I haven't found libssh having libsodium support yet, but it it really is
compatible it might be a small step - and then libsodium seems more
fresh and maintained.
@seb128 - would you take a look at experimenting with libsodium @ libssh
as that seems to be the better way out of this dependency for Ubuntu.
