[Bug 309023] [NEW] Documentation directory (APIs, Examples, Etc.) not included

[Noel J. Bergman]

Public bug reported:

Installing the libjava-gnome-java package results in:

~$  dpkg -L libjava-gnome-java
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/jni
/usr/lib/jni/libgtkjni-4.0.so
/usr/share
/usr/share/java
/usr/share/java/gtk-4.0.jar
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libjava-gnome-java
/usr/share/doc/libjava-gnome-java/NEWS.gz
/usr/share/doc/libjava-gnome-java/README.gz
/usr/share/doc/libjava-gnome-java/copyright
/usr/share/doc/libjava-gnome-java/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/java/gtk.jar

This is certainly the java-gnome *library*, and is sufficient for users
of the package.  But what is missing is the entirety of the project's
own doc/ directory, which includes the manual, examples, and JavaDoc API
(would have been generated during the build).  See http://java-
gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/doc/ for more information on the missing
content.

For the prior generation (v2) of the java-gnome project, we have
multiple packages, including one that provides the API related content.

Rather than change the content of libjava-gnome-java, which we get from
upstream, I suggest that we re-introduce an additional package for java-
gnome that includes the missing developer content from the java-gnome
project.  That can be pushed back upstream if they'll take it.
