* Adding full Tomcat 6 server stack support (LP: #256052)
- tomcat6 handles the system instance (/var/lib/tomcat6)
- tomcat6-user allows users to create their own private instances
- tomcat6-common installs common files in /usr/share/tomcat6
- libtomcat6-java installs Tomcat 6 java libs in /usr/share/java
- tomcat6-docs installs the documentation webapp
- tomcat6-examples installs the examples webapp
- tomcat6-admin installs the manager and host-manager webapps
* Other key differences with the tomcat5.5 packages:
- default-jdk build support
- OpenJDK-6 JRE runtime support
- tomcat6 installs a minimal ROOT webapp
- new webapp locations follow Debian webapp policy
- webapps restart tomcat6 in postrm rather than in prerm
- added a doc-base entry
- use standard upstream server.xml
- initscript: try to check if Tomcat is really running before returning OK
- removed transitional configuration migration code
- autogenerate policy in /var/cache/tomcat6 rather than /etc/tomcat6
- logging.properties is customized to remove -webapps-related lines
- initscript: implement TearDown spec
* CVE-2008-1947 fix (cross-site-scripting issue in host-manager webapp)
