As a hypothetical, I was mainly concerned about backporting a new F21 java
package as a F20 update to make it available to users still on that
version, and whether that would require javadocs. Just in case, I've added
a "%if 0%{fedora} < 21" condition for javadocs, and the appropriate
Obsoletes line when the condition fails (>=20), but that's more to maintain
in the specfile, and it'd be much simpler to just not declare any
subpackaging for javadocs.
