The short description should be self-contained (people reading it may
not see the long description at the same time). People generally do not
know what a Dink Smallwood is, so you shouldn't refer to it in the short
description. A better one is:

I do not know for sure, but I think Dink Smallwood is a game, and
FreeDink is just a game engine. You should make this clear in the long
description.

You shouldn't mention the above sentence in the long description. The
copyright information goes into the debian/copyright file, the version
number is already part of the package, and the fact that it is released
under a free software license is also superfluous, since your package
will be part of Debian :)
