Hi Rex, In my opinion a more appropriate place for you question would be the Debian mentors list. This list is more meant for Debian development. I have cc'ed it as such.
Why do you need to do anything above the normal for this. The package sun-java6-jdk exists in the Debian non-free repository. Just add the dependency as normal. You package will be restricted to the contrib section though (if it is free, if not non-free) as it depends on a non-free package.
