Soory, good find!
Changed to
<para>
As there is almost no control over different java compilers, package
&should; either use <filename>ant</filename> to compile and build java
packages, or directly access the required tools. They &must; not use
the alternative managed <filename>/usr/bin/javadoc</filename> or
<filename>/usr/bin/javac</filename>. The ant environement is handled
via the java-config system (see below). For java development kits,
which aren't distributable by debian the "unfree" interface for ant
environments should be used.
