java-package is not in Debian. It's in the contrib distribution, which is a set of packages provided alongside Debian for working with non-free software. This sort of upstream repackager, if it itself is released under a free software license, is in general acceptable for contrib if someone is willing to sponsor it. (I haven't looked at the details of this specific package.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
