The problem manifests when using gbp with a clean cowbuilder chroot.

In any event, I have pushed a patch to the pkg-java/derby repo that uses the
package-list shipped with default-jdk-doc that addresses the external fetch
problem.  The generated javadoc looks sane (and like the derby-doc package
currently in the archive).

If someone else on the Java Team could give it a once over, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,
