That's European-style relative clause punctuation. You want:
Please specify the directory where the Java Development Kit
which is used by BioMAJ is installed.
Or, since the place where it's installed is the place where it is,
simplify to:
Please specify the path to the Java Development Kit for BioMAJ.
Give more details. I however wonder why this has to be
configured. Shouldn't the package depends on a JDK and therefore
"know" where it is installed?
It does have a "Depends: openjdk-6-jdk|default-jdk|sun-java6-jdk", so
yes, this sounds like a job for policy and/or $JAVA_HOME.
In fact, JDK path is required somewhere in configuration files,
that's why question is asked, even if jdk dependency is set.

Use "BioMAJ" as this seems to be the "official" way to write the
software name?
Upstream seem to think so. I notice there's a bit more information in
the revised version, but it's still rather unclear to me exactly what
it is that needs to happen first or what this allows to happen second.
Candidates for both include:
a) the package mysql-server-x.y being fully installed
b) a "biomaj_log" database and dbadmin being created
c) the connection parameters being set up via debconf
d) BioMAJ being configured to populate the database automatically
I'm guessing that (a) is a prerequisite for (c) which gives you (d),
but is doing (b) also a prerequisite or is it automated?
(a) is a prerequisite
For automation, (b) and (c) are required for (d).
If (b) or (c) is not satistifed, then database population has to be
done manually after package installation.
Maybe:
Once the MySQL database for BioMAJ has been created and configured, it
can populate itself automatically instead of needing to be updated
manually.
.
Please specify whether the database connection should be configured now.

These look good.

+Description: biological banks updater
The top hits for "biological banks" are all talking about tissue
sample repositories. What you mean is
Description: biological data-bank updater
Correct
+ BioMAJ downloads remote data banks, checks their status and applies transformation
+ workflows, with consistent state, to provide ready-to-use data to biologists and
bioinformaticians. For example, it can transform original fasta files to blast
indexes. It is very flexible and post-processes can be extended very easily.
No leading uppercase in synopsis.
Some grammar corrections.
Better, but: s/fasta/FASTA/, s/blast/BLAST/ (not to be confused with
the Debian package "blast"), and I'm not sure about "post-processes" -
maybe "its post-processing facilities"?
Post-processing sounds better indeed.
The software execute some programs, defined in a property file,
after the download of the data. Those programs are referred here as
the "post-processes".

Description: bank properties file examples
Even worse - "bank properties" means land owned by financial
institutions...
Description: biological data-bank updater - example properties files
This package contains a set of bank properties that can be used as
+ examples for BioMAJ. It contains many existing banks descriptions
+ with or without workflows to transform data. Some files may require
+ additional programs for post-processes such as blast.
A couple of extra tweaks (for instance, they're existing data banks,
not existing descriptions):
