I've changed the copyright in the package accordingly, it will be included in the next minor update of the packages in Debian.

Well, one of the points of me picking up on packaging AC is to attempt to keep it as up-to-date as the release cycles allows, I guess many active people may want to use your tarball, but the packages are hopefully one way to advertise it to new folks.

* All clauses of the original license must be adhered to, with the exception that you may now modify the package.
* All new packages are to be redistributed using the same license they originally came with.
* As you may know, AssaultCube is made up of various media, from various sources, all with various copyright notices of their own. So, all copyright notices within that package, must also be found in the new package, if the files within the new package are normally affected by that license.
* Any changes made to the AssaultCube package(s), must only be made for the intention of making it easier to package AssaultCube for Debian in what you deem to be the most appropriate way.
* We are entrusting you to make the right decisions and hope that it is not abused. Although we'll endeavor to contact you if something is wrong and try to come to an agreement on how best to rectify the situation, please realise that we reserve the right to revoke our permission at any time and will do so if we feel it is being abused.
This is, as far as I know, excellent! Thanks!
