Well, getting it into u10 is not a huge thing for me, as we've already
fixed this in IcedTea as soon as the issue came up.  On the other hand,
it's a completely unobtrusive fix which just stops a completely redundant
man page from being installed on OpenJDK builds.

Had the original patch being reviewed publicly, this might have been handled
correctly in the original patch.  As is, the OpenJDK build doesn't seem to
have been considered, and so we end up with documentation for programs that
are only part of Oracle proprietary builds.
