IMHO a clear: YES.

Without having had a look at it (because of time constraints): 
I would try to adopt as much as possible and I would repeat my strong
recommendation to join  linux-distros-dev at eclipse.org  for discussing
this kind of issues.

Apropos repeating: I will definitely not become a strong member of
the pkg-java team but I'm willing to help out with *some* packaging
stuff and sponsoring packages.  My main concern is to help were some
grunt work has to be done because I'm definitely not in the position
(spare time wise and knowledge wise) to draw strategic decisions -
I just know that cooperation with other projects is cruxial if you
know you have sparse manpower.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
