java-package is not in Debian. It's in the contrib distribution, which is
a set of packages provided alongside Debian for working with non-free
software.
This sort of upstream repackager, if it itself is released under a free
software license, is in general acceptable for contrib if someone is
willing to sponsor it. (I haven't looked at the details of this specific
package.)
