I have not tried to build it; else I would have been able to answer this
myself. :P If signs automatically without requiring any interaction,
then it is not a problem (build-wise, but the signature is probably not
worth a lot then). If the build stops waiting for the user to (e.g.)
supply a password, then it is definitely not okay (since then it will
not be rebuildable on our auto-build machines).

Yes please; javadoc tends to take up a lot more space than the jar files
themselves. You should also make the javadoc link against the system
javadoc (this requires a Build-Depends on default-jdk-doc plus the -doc
packages of any package it depends plus [for ant] a couple of <link
href="/path/to/javadoc/" /> in the javadoc tag).

You are welcome, :)
So; debian/docs is empty - if the file is not needed you should remove it.
The copyright file does not list that
svg-core/src/main/java/com/kitfox/svg/batik/RadialGradientPaintContext.java
(and quite possibly other files) are Copyright Apache Software
Foundation and under Apache-1.1
You should probably ping upstream about that.
Then there is doc/dev/GetTRDoc.pdf which says that "Distribution is
unlimited" but says nothing about modification. Torsten would probably
ask where the source of it is, though it looks to be a scanning of the
paper document.
What is the version scheme of this package? Just the raw svn revision?
If so 0~svn${revision}-1 is probably a better version in case upstream
makes a real release later. On a related note; dpkg ignores the "00"
prefix - as demonstrated by:
$ dpkg --compare-versions 0089-1 '=' 89-1 && echo "yes"
