I'm not that into java to sponsor myself and using cdbs
makes me sponsoring even unlikelier, but some general hints:
The package Depends: sun-java5-jre
which according to packages.debian.org is only available in non-free yet,
so this package could go at most into contrib.
You should include the full license information, especially the part
in copyright.txt about which versions of the GPL it is are most
important and missing in your debian/copyright file.
You also seem to miss copyright information for some files in
debian/copyright. Not everything is from Alexander Maryanovsky,
things like ./free/chess/EboardVectorPiecePainter.java list other
people.
Also src/free/jin/legal lists other licenses and copyright holders.
Are they for specific parts and if yes which? and why is nothing in
debian/copyright about them?
some of the .zip files in resources/pieces have AUTHORS files with
a name not listed in debian/copyright. why not?
resources/lnfs and resources/libs contains jar files with classes but nothing
seems to contain their sources.
You have an jin.6.old file in the .diff.
gpl.txt should not be in debian/docs. There is a copy in
basefiles.
The directory names might need reinvestigating. AFAIR it should
be /usr/share/games/jin andn ot /usr/share/jin.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Bernhard R. Link
