Description

When installing temurin JDK via the **Deb installation on Debian or Ubuntu**, the java **doc** package is missing. When openJDK is installed via the Ubuntu repository, this package available for installation.

Would it be possible to add the **doc** package when installing temurin openJDK via **Deb installation on Debian or Ubuntu**? Here's the current output from `apt-cache search`:
> temurin-21-jdk - Eclipse Temurin 21 JDK
> temurin-21-jre - Eclipse Temurin 21 JRE

It would be great if we could additionally get something like this instead:
> temurin-21-jdk - Eclipse Temurin 21 JDK
> temurin-21-jre - Eclipse Temurin 21 JRE
> **temurin-21-doc - Eclipse Temurin 21 Development Kit (JDK) documentation**

Research direction

Start by locating the Debian installer package metadata or templates that produce the temurin-21-jdk and temurin-21-jre entries, then compare how the Ubuntu OpenJDK documentation package is represented. Done means the Debian or Ubuntu package index exposes a temurin-21-doc package with the requested description and it can be installed.
