This is the primary source of information for new packagers:
  http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers

This is short and important:
  http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/

Longer, but a necessary reference:
  http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/

Emmanuel Bourg wrote some introductionary notes for debian-java which
I consider to be helpful:
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2013/04/msg00134.html

If you are at home in git (instead of svn), then this page helps you
convert the debian package files to git:
  http://wiki.debian.org/Java/JavaGit#Converting_an_SVN_repository_to_Git
otherwise you need svn-buildpackage:
  http://svn-bp.alioth.debian.org/
