Just FYI, this license is commonly referred to as the "3-clause BSD"[1]
license.  Feel free to use that as shorthand for your package's license,
in the future, especially if you should ever be so unlucky as to be
mired in an argument on debian-legal.  :)

Thanks for being thorough with your ITP.

[1] Yes, one could take the original 4-clause BSD license and subtract
    any one of the other clauses from it and have a "3-clause BSD"
    license, but in practice, that is extremely rare, and the one with
    the old clause 3 ("All advertising materials mentioning features or
    use of this software...") is the one that is dropped.
