You can use my package mediathekview as a template. You may want to add
"default-jdk" to Build-Depends and "default-jdk | java7-runtime" to the
Depends field of your application. This is more flexible than just
depending on openjdk-7. The lintian warning can be ignored because Java7
is the default implementation in Debian Jessie. For detecting the JVM
and using Java7 at runtime you can use a wrapper script like this one.
[1] Just add java-wrappers to your dependencies and you are all set.

Markus
