In this case you can try to patch the code and remove the annotations.
If no Java 6 API is used it's likely to work.

You can do it, but the best practice is to have separate packages.

It's up to you, you just have to join the pkg-java group on alioth [1]
and create a Git repository under /srv/git.debian.org/git/pkg-java
(there is a setup-repository script in this directory that can be used
to create the repository and setup the hooks properly).
