The java policy you are reading is the latest ;-)

If you can't come to Belgium this week end, maybe we can start some
discussion about webapp packaging. I like the subject and I think it'd
be good to improuve Debian-Java. We should find a location for
'conatiner agnostic' webapps.
About the JDK, you can depend on a particular JDK release and warn in
your README.Debian file, but I don't know if you could do something else
because nothing prevent the user to install another JVM and run tomcat
or whatever container with another JVM.

1° Those questions are not completely resolved for libs and apps and
will be / should be discussed;
2° Those questions have never been asked about webapps.
Thanks for your interrest in debian-java,
