Dear Maintainer,

I am attempting to use jh_installjavadoc on a manually compiled javadoc.
The package uses tmpdirs in the form debian/tmp/$package. I therefore
passed the -P option exactly as requested by the man page, but it had no
effect: the javadoc was copied to
debian/libprocessing3-java-doc/usr/share/doc/libprocessing3-java-doc/api/.
The command line I used was

jh_installjavadoc -plibprocessing3-java-doc -Pdebian/tmp/libprocessing3-java-doc $OUTDIR /usr/share/doc/libprocessing3-java-doc/api/

where $OUTDIR is the temporary folder the javadocs were built to.

The debian/$package notation appears to be hardcoded into
jh_installjavadocs. Please could this be fixed?

Many thanks,
George Bateman.
