I started learning the Java ecosystem myself by upgrading Solr and packaging Hadoop. However learning Debian packaging and then Java packaging isn't done in a couple of hours. On the other hand you'll really learn a lot about the system that you're using. I don't know what your company is doing but you should think twice before asking your boss for a favour and then feeling bad about misusing company time. I've been there... But on the other hand it might be an asset for your company to have somebody that knows about Debian packaging and about Java.
