The Java packaging team tends to spend time in #ubuntu-java on
freenode, but the best strategy is that which you are already
following: to get the package into Debian first.

Once it is accepted into Debian contrib, if DebianImportFreeze (1)
has passed, one files a sync request (2), and subscribes the
ubuntu-universe-sponsors group for inclusion in universe. A package
so constructed will end up in the in the multiverse respository, due
to the dependencies.
