Bug Description

To develop a Java jmagick application I decided to install the API document package.

The package claims to contain API docs - it contains an empty 'api' folder.

It would be more useful for it to contain the document files located here...

Thanks!

Looks like maverick doesn't have this problem:

Though I find it amazing that a package could have its entire contents purged and no one in the process knows how or why it happened. I also find it troubling that no one who has the power to do so will correct this issue with lucid or karmic in spite of the fact that this package is JUST DOCUMENTATION. I guess you get what you pay for, eh?
