It's quite late here in Germany and I still suffer from jet lag effects
but I believe we are talking about two different things right now.

Policy 4.9.1 is about the nodoc option to suppress building
documentation at all. So you could basically run something like

DEB_BUILD_OPTION=nodoc gbp buildpackage

and then your -doc packages won't be built at all.

However your annotations in debian/control are for bootstrapping debian
packages. [1] I believe you don't need them if you want to support
building your package without doc packages. This is a more general tool
chain issue for Java packages. At the moment I'm not sure how well it is
supported but it is certainly something we want to support.

Right, good catch.
