Oh, so that what it is for. Yes, it works for me.

By the way, what are your reasons for building only nexuiz-sdl and not
nexuiz-glx? You should either include both, or make separate packages
for each. Dedicated server could also be separated, as it does not seem
to depend on music files.

This could be like this:

 nexuiz        - depends: nexuiz-sdl | nexuiz-glx
 nexuiz-sdl    - depends: nexuiz-data, recommends: nexuiz-music
 nexuiz-glx    - depends: nexuiz-data, recommends: nexuiz-music
 nexuiz-server - depends: nexuiz-data
 nexuiz-data
 nexuiz-music

There could also be a package "nexuiz-data-extra" for adding new maps,
that are not yet in upstream release.

I offer my help in maintaining Nexuiz, if you fell that this is too much
of bother to do it alone.
