By the way since Debian Policy 3.9.7 it is recommended to install
additional documentation via -doc packages into /usr/share/doc/pkg and
no longer /usr/share/doc/pkg-doc. This is also enforced with
debhelper/compat >= 11. If we were consequent then we should use
/usr/share/doc/default-jdk/api everywhere.
