Depending on what you're looking for, you may also be interested in libconfig-
model-dpkg-perl. (used by 'cme check dpkg'). You will get a dpkg lib which is 
independant of perl. This lib can read, check, modify and write most files in 
debian/ . 

You could use this in a program that would:
- parse info from java stuff 
- adapt it and load it in libconfig-model-dpkg-perl lib.

Then checking the info and writing package files would be handled libconfig-
model-dpkg-perl. 

Hope this helps
