Of course. You said package name and scirpt should be same already:)
Well, regarding Jan's mail, j2se may be not familier for some
people. This is really nit picks, but mpkg-java maybe better.

IMO, separated package is unfriendly for user (but it seems frendly
for developers Hubert already mentioned). I prefer building single
package for user and if I can, I don't want to upload each peer
packages like sun-xxx,and ibm-xxx. 

This is related about Gybas's worry about a lot of small packages.
