Add the official released Assaultcube game to repository

Asked by Punjabi.Ver-7.1

So I recently upgraded to 20.04 flavour. With the new repository of 20.04 the Assaultcube game is updated to beta version..which is still in development, and the old official released version which was in previous repository of Bionic Beaver, is removed. I use linux os to play this game only. I like ubuntu flavour a lot, so please add the old version of the game to the new repository or else I would have to change to other distribution.

Thanks.

I cannot see any indication of a "beta version".

Ubuntu has copied that package from Debian.
If you deem something wrong with it, then please ask at debian.org

Can you help with this problem?
