I was using the sswg.swift-lang extension in Cursor previously and just noticed that it is now deprecated, pointing to the new swiftlang.swift-vscode location. This is available in the VS Code Marketplace, but not in the Cursor Marketplace. Can it be published there? Or is there a way to install the newer package as a custom extension?

There is an open issue we should be able to address soon Publish in the Open VSX Registry · Issue #90 · swiftlang/vscode-swift · GitHub. Are you able to manually install the VSIX bundle into cursor for now?
In the meantime here are the instructions to manually install any extension in to Cursor: How to Install Any VSCode Extension
I took a look at those instructions, but there doesn't seem to be a "Download Extension" option on the Swift extension page on the VS Code Marketplace.
Looks like the VS Code marketplace has unfortunately removed that link from their extension pages. I think your best bet for now is to build you own .vsix from the vscode-swift repo. Instructions can be found here: vscode-swift/CONTRIBUTING.md at main · swiftlang/vscode-swift · GitHub
If you'd like to install a specific version of the extension, check out the tag you want to build (for instance the latest version is 2.0.2) and then follow the steps to create a .vsix above.
