I am not a Debian Developer (DD) (and can never be, you could say I have been
DAM'ed) and have no ability to upload your package, sorry. This review is for
your information with no requirement to act upon it.

Lintian:

W: vkbasalt-cli: no-manual-page [usr/bin/vkbasalt]
N:
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N:   a manual page
N:
N:   Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N:   program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N:   own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N:   sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N:   support this.
N:
N:   If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N:   able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N:   exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:
N:   If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N:   depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N:   available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N:   pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N:   Lintian override.
N:
N:   Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N:   for details.

N:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: documentation/manual
N:   Renamed from: binary-without-manpage

Summary
=======

Looks good here.

I would use and is common to use the same license for 'Files: *' and 'Files:
debian/*', but is not mandatory.

It would be nice for this package to have a manual page. Better that than
relying on a 'README.md'.

Tagging as 'confirmed'.
