Hello Gabriele,

That's an interesting issue, but not so easy to fix neatly.

The first thing you can do: don't use ${maven:DocDepends}, specify yourself the list of doc packages to include.

Going forward, there are several solutions but they all look like it can take some time to implement them: - add a property in the pom like debian.package which indicates the name of the documentation package if it exists. This would force a change in all packages already deploying artifacts in the Debian Maven repository - use dpkg or apt-file to locate the documentation package associated with the dependent package
- any other idea or advise?

Package: maven-debian-helper
Version: 1.0
Severity: normal

${maven:DocDepends} is replaced with -doc packages even if they don't exist so 
-doc package will depend on non-existent packages like 
libmaven-shared-io-java-doc, libxstream-java-doc.

Possibility to ignore them?
Don't include them if they don't exist?

Thanks.
