You should have a look at old "make-jpkg" tool which used to be provided by 
java-package : http://packages.qa.debian.org/j/java-package.html
Purpose of this tool is to repackage "binaries" provided by Oracle and 
integrate them inside Debian : alternatives, FHS directories, plugin 
registration, etc...

Maybe we can provide some support to integrate non-free Oracle JDK with this 
tool (but someone has to do the work to support newer JDK in this tool).

Cheers,
