I would understand if you were asking for a review instead of a sponsor
because…

… this means that the following isn't correct:
Section: graphics
Build-Depends: …, sun-java6-jdk, …
Depends: …, sun-java6-jre, …

Check for contrib and non-free in the policy. Hopefully it's buildable
and usable with gcj, as you stated.

Checking the source package:
W: blimp source: binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep
W: blimp source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.2 (current is 3.7.3)
I: blimp source: build-depends-without-arch-dep ant
I: blimp source: build-depends-without-arch-dep sun-java6-jdk
I: blimp source: build-depends-without-arch-dep libswt3.2-gtk-java
I: blimp source: build-depends-without-arch-dep imagemagick
I: blimp source: build-depends-without-arch-dep fakeroot

Check: you're running the latest lintian, and be sure to use -i/-I so as
to spot as many issues as possible. If you're running debuild or so with
-b, be sure to run lintian on the source package (.dsc) as well.

I didn't dig it much more, but I might help a bit with the gcj stuff.
You might have a look at the pkg-phototools group, more information on
the website[1].
