adjust the list of the package contents for openjdk-11-jre-headless and
openjdk-11-jre in Buster to avoid further confusion.

Well, if you are forced to use 2FA with Office365 (like I am), davmail
will open a window that asks you for the verification sms, otp code or
similar.
I do not have libswt-gtk2-4-jni or libswt-cairo-gtk-4-jni installed, so
those are not required for that. Therefore I do not think that those
should be promoted to "recommended".
When I try to remove libopenjfx-java however, it tells me that it's
going to remove the packages davmail and libopenjfx-jni as well, so I
guess libopenjfx-java already is a hard requirement somewhere in
davmail's dependency tree.
Granted, if you use 2FA and need to have an X-Server running on your
server because of that, it's not exactly headless anymore... I still
think making openjdk-11-jre a recommended or at least a suggested
dependency would be a good idea because of it.
Not sure how much effort it would be to split davmail like that or if it
would be a good idea.
