Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove the tomcat5 package. This branch has been superseded by
the 5.5 branch, which we have in the archive as tomcat5.5. Upstream
don't even do security relesases for the 5.0 branch [1], and only
commit security fixes to the VCS.

The Java maintainers plan to package the new Tomcat 6 for lenny, and
there is no point in having three different versions. There is
consensus in the maintainer team that tomcat5 should therefore be
dropped.
