Policy requires that architecture-independent files are under /usr/share

In fact, alternates are strictly not supported with build-depends. You must use
a single concrete package in build-depends, which is this case default-jdk is
the correct one.

I have a few other comments on the package:

- you don't close an ITP in the changelog, you should generally be filing ITPs
(cc'd to -devel) in case anyone has comments about the package

- as I said, arch-all content should be in /usr/share, that's why you got a
lintian warning, you shouldn't just override them unless you have a very good
reason.
