Hello,
	Package looks good to me, provided the following:

* control: your Depends line is empty, but your package depends on libncurses5 
(at least) run-time. You want Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} in order to give a 
chance to dh_shlibdeps (resp. dpkg-shlibdeps) to populate that entry 
correctly for you.

* control: improving the long description would also help, since now I'm not 
convinced that tmux is better than screen, or it is just YA (yet 
another) 'terminal multiplexer'. Put some salt in there, like what is 
different or better with tmux and why it is needed, no gambling of course, 
since the code is there ;-), which also looks very clean to me.

* copyright: machine interpretable copyright format would also be nice (ask 
wiki.debian.org about it)

* adding a watch file would be nice.
