some questions on multiple binaries per source

[Eric Lavarde <Eric.Lavarde@bawue.de>]

Hi,

I'm packaging FreeMind (old version somewhere on the upload path), and 
the new version is requesting multiple packages. So here two questions:
- is there somewhere a specific description of multi-packaging? the new 
maintainer tutorial isn't really explaining much and I couldn't find 
anything specific in the developer reference or Debian Policy.
- more specific question: one of the additional packages is a plugin, 
FreeMind itself "requires" Java, the plugin "requires" Java and 
FreeMind. Am I supposed to write in the control file that the plugin 
does depend on Java, if it's already depending on something that depend 
on Java?

Thanks, Eric
