Can you make it dependent on PostgreSQL as well

Yes should be pretty easy to do.
How long till it becomes standardly distributed
in debians?
A very long time (if not never) I think: the blocker here is that to
be in the standard debian repository all our dependency should have
their own debian package on which xwiki debian package depends. That's
petty much why you don't find much java soft in debian package.
There is not only the main debian distrib, see
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x169.html for the
rules, and more largely
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/index.html.
If you follow these rules, and IMO you should, there is no reason not to
submit the package to debian at least in contrib...
or if not, could you tell what is precisely blocking ?
If there is some real blocker have you check if ubuntu (which more relaxed)
is a better option ?
I really see an opportunity here if the package goes in, many debian/ubuntu
users only adopt official packages.
I never said I was against it, again the rule I described is for the
offical main debian repository and of course there is more relaxed
repositories staring with our own.
