No, it doesn't.

Build-Depends: ant (>= 1.7.0),

Then you should generate control in a uptodate chroot (what I did)

I am not sure the definition of Build-Depends is also for stuff
not related to actually building the package (control isn't rebuilt unless
you change something in "normal" builds, it is basically static in .debian.tar.gz)

No, it won't.

debian/rules has

        JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java

That will use openjdk given the build-dep on the newer default-jdk _is_ there.
java-common is just need for (re-)generating control.
