Please see the current debian policy proposal discussion in this ML.
It tries to adress this issues. In the end, such 'unfree' JVM should
be installed via a installer script, which sets up the right things.
Currently mpkg-j2sdk is not working with IBM java 1.4, but after the
proposal becomes clearer, I will try top get patches for mpkg-j2sdk to
the maintainer and get it inclued in debian.

JAVA_HOME is only used by "some" packages. Debian packages "must not"
rely on environment variables.
I can't really say something to the rest, as I haven't seen this
errors. Sorry...
