I recommended simply ignoring the classpath warnings displayed by
Lintian. This is rarely useful, it can lead to classpath conflicts at
runtime and it generates suboptimal dependency lists for javahelper
based packages.

You should be able to strip anything that is doclet related. This is
used to customize the style of the Javadoc, and the default style is
good enough for the Debian packages. You could also consider dropping
the libpicard-java-doc package (near zero popcon).
