Because with every new Java release we keep getting new javadoc issues
breaking the builds and violating the Debian policies. Considering that
almost nobody use these packages it's not worth the time we're investing
in maintaining them. So the current trend is rather to remove them.

I have a preference for clean version numbers. The suffix is useful
if a version was already packaged and needs to be modified afterward
because unwanted files were included by mistake.
