Hi,

To avoid potential double work, it is encouraged to file a so called ITP
(intent to package) bug report.

https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

After you have done that you can close the bug by adding (Closes:
#your_bug_number_here) to your debian/changelog.

You can either compile your application with a different class format
(e.g. Java 6 or Java 7) or ignore this warning because Java 8 is the
default Java implementation now. Of course it is preferable to support
older versions as well.

Debian recommends to create man pages for applications even for
graphical ones. If stegosuite doesn't support any command line options,
you could still add a description and point to further documentation in
your man page. See the mediathekview package for example man pages.
