Bug#818056: generate stable filaname for chapter/section

Package: java-policy
Version: 0.55
Severity: wishlist

This package (even from days in java-common) generated each HTML page
with the automatically generated filename which changes almost randomly
for every new version.

Debian site publishes this as a part of policy documents:
 https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/

Since this web page contains just the copy of the latest debian-policy
package, web page URLs for chapters and sections change all the time.

This is not good.

All other documents generated use either some fixed string derived from
chapter/section id or chapter/section number combination for the
filename making it more stable.

(I checked this package since recent move from java-common to
java-policy broke debian web page building.)
