Are you ready?  Would you try producing one from RC2?  If so, I will try it
on Ubuntu.

And /usr/lib/sendmail as a symlink to /usr/sbin/sendmail.

Perhaps we should create two packages: one that requires sun-java5* and one
that does not, but perhaps issues a warning that there must be Java 1.4+
available?

I would, personally, prefer the latter for my own use, even on Ubuntu.  I
stick with Sun's tarball releases, and symlink /usr/local/java to where I
have Java installed.
