the 4-clause BSD license should not be problematic in this case since the copyright holder is the University of California. They granted all licensees the right to delete the paragraph about "advertising materials" thus making the license compatible with the GPL. ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change I think it is sufficient to document this fact with a comment in debian/copyright and to ask upstream to remove the offending paragraph.
