Not yet but it definitely will.

Great, so we can start the transition now. It might be nice to add some
examples of the javac -h syntax in the javah documentation to ease the
migration.

If Chris still has the logs of its latest mass rebuild I think we could
easily identify the affected packaged by grepping the message "Warning:
The javah tool is planned to be removed".
If there is no hurry to remove javah I suggest waiting until JDK 12 to
do so, this would increase our chances to include JDK 11 in the next
Debian release.

Good idea, I don't know if Lintian can optionally depend on the JRE though.
