I got one remark. I see lib-dom-java 'Depends' libdom1-java, that's correct but not enough. You have to make libdom1-java 'Provides, Conflicts and Replaces' lib-dom-java. ,----[ Debian Policy ] | 7.5.2 Replacing whole packages, forcing their removal | | Secondly, Replaces allows the packaging system to resolve which package | should be removed when there is a conflict - see Conflicting binary | packages - Conflicts, Section 7.3.
