Have you read the Debian policy manifesto?? If not, please do. It is
at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ in particular, 
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-sections

Next, read http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/
and http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x138.html

Make sure you read the documents in *only* in this particular order.

If that does not answer you, try going through that, read the mails at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/ 

The  list link  is  to the  mailing  list archives;  be careful  while
reading that, because opposing opinions will be expressed there.
