To clarify: I meant the original comment in these two files seems fine 
and cound be reverted:
src/jdk.jartool/share/classes/com/sun/jarsigner/ContentSigner.java
src/jdk.jartool/share/classes/com/sun/jarsigner/ContentSignerParameter.java

Your suggestion to add a sentence in package-info.java is a fine idea.
