Thank you for your work, Youhei. Some comments for that.
- Debian revision is not correct, it should be 5.98+jp1.7b-0.1.
(or, if you can help to maintain it, consider to add yourself to Uploaders
and use revision as -1 :)
- Your update would solve #562440 with TeXLive2009 based one, so please
describe it in changelog.
- Don't add debian/source.lintian-overrides without appropriate reason.
- You can improve debian/dirs more
- README.jpatch, ChangeLog.jpatch and README-tl.txt are not debian specific
files, right? You would be better to move those files to appropriate
directory.
- Please describe more with your debian/control changes.
- Please add descriptions for each patch, especially its origin (URIs).
It is useful to track changes with upstream.
- Does it work well? if so, please describe the steps to check it.
With testcase is better.

You don't agree with merge it to TeXLive2009 packages, not for Bug#562440
issue, right?
Generally, we should avoid to upload different source packages with same origin
but some exceptions are there (i.e. xpdf and xpdf-{c,j,k} packages). We should
track and deal with security fix in TeXLive if we wouldn't merged to TeXLive
source package. However, it's a kind of balance between costs and profit.
Anyway, current dvipsk-ja maintainer and/or TeX folks, please review Yohei's
work and upload it to make Squeeze release better.
Thanks.
