/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/man/man1/java.1.gz describes JDK8,
and omits descriptions of e.g. -Xpatch.  The bottom line of the manpage
reads

    JDK 8            03 March 2015      java(1)

I've only checked that one, I don't know about the others.

Yes, please *do* take care of this, ideally also in buster,
as this seriously degrades the usability of the software.

For example, JDK 8 had javah but JDK 11 doesn’t, and it’s
supposed to be replaced by some javac option, which now is
not documented.
