Yes.

Well, this is not what the source code says (Braille Utils (C) 2010-2011
Daisy Consortium). ftp-master will frown upon this discrepancy, you will
have to explain (e.g. mention discussions with upstream about the real
holder) in debian/copyright.

Sure, just take an alioth account, and we'll add you to the pkg-a11y
team.

I mean not only the classpath used by libbrailleutils, but the classpath
used by the users of libbrailleutils. IIRC the java packaging policy has
some rules to somehow automatically provide the necessary classpath to
these users.
