My suggestion would be to look at how Mandriva packages are done, as we

I'm not saying that a completely new java packaging policy is not needed
(it is), though, so if the java developers have the resources to convert
all imported java packages to a completely new policy, I'm all for it :)
There are around 400 java packages in Mandriva, though I hope we don't
need to import all of them (i.e. hopefully many are unused/old).

That could be a very hard task, because you have to look if there aren't any dependencies on some of these packages. I would suggest to drop the whole gcj packages, but even it's unmaintained now by upstream, there are a few programs depending on it (like a few packages of ant i think)
But writing a policy about the openjdk would be the right thing now because we will integrate it, it's also in mandriva but without a policy or Remy didn't find one for that.
