Sorry for not answering to this mail sooner... As long as the package doesn't build-depend on any packages not available in Debian it can be build by the normal auto-builders. Otherwise you will need to build it yourself or find people to do it for you. You can ask for removal of binaries on architectures you can't support. And BTW, building on non-existing java packages is perfectly fine since it makes it easier for people that try to build the package manually. Using the same names that java-package uses is probably the best choice.
