the relevant change is that javadoc now gives errors instead of warnings 
for some problems (often caused by incorrect/incomplete classpath).

Fails with Java 9:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/javadoc -locale en -encoding "UTF-8" -sourcepath osgi/framework/src -d api -subpackages org.knopflerfish:org.osgi

Works with Java 8:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/javadoc -locale en -encoding "UTF-8" -sourcepath osgi/framework/src -d api -subpackages org.knopflerfish:org.osgi

knopflerfish-osgi is a key package, so won't be autoremoved from testing.

If that's fixed in a week that would be fast for a FTBFS bug,
so nothing you should worry about too much.
