Possibly what you are looking for is not a Maven related thing at all but how
Javadoc works. If you add
/**
* {...@inheritdoc}
*/
above the methods in the implementation classes that implement the interface
methods, Javadoc copies it from the interface to the implementing class'
generated HTML files.
Additionally, if using Java 5 or newer, the @Override annotation does the same
thing (and is the preferred approach - no need to do both).
Then, the packaged Javadoc will have what I think you want.

There's a good chance your specific usage of the Javadoc plugin is not
currently supported. I've certainly never needed nor wanted to do what
you're doing.
Look at the source code for the m-javadoc-p and see if you can figure
out a way to patch it to support your requirement, or file a Jira and
wait for someone else to code it for you.
