I'm trying to peel the onion and believe that this is a problem in the
maven-javadoc-plugin package.  I found the same issue for a project
outside of Debian, for example [1], which refers to a JIRA ticket for that
plugin [2].  There is a commit [3] referencing that JIRA on the master
branch of maven-javadoc-plugin.

I would like to try cherry-picking the fix onto our current version of
maven-javadoc-plugin to see if it resolves our issue.  Or if that gets
too complicated, we could look into updating to a snapshot of 3.1.0 (our
version would 3.1.0~foo), since it looks like all of these commits will
be part of 3.1.0 [4].

I'm not sure how much time I'll have to dedicate to this over the
weekend and so would be happy if someone fixes it before I get to it.

Cheers,
tony
