In addition to libservlet2.5-java, I think we should have some sense of how tomcat6 and tomcat7 users will be affected by having tomcat8-only available in jessie. That is, are there incompatibilities or changes in behavior people need to be aware of? Do we need to provide a migration script of some sort? We already know about the username differences - are there others? I don't like to merely pose the questions, but am not regularly running tomcat in production anymore, and so don't have ready answers. I don't want users to feel like they're stranded with their existing tomcat6/7 installations. Thanks, tony
