Well, I just found the tomcat package in debian. I didn't realize
they had a current version in packages. NONETHELESS, I would still
like it if someone can point me to infromation outlining the standards
for software installation in the debian system.

If I want to install software that isn't in a package, what is the
Debian compatible method. I mean, where do I put the executables,
where do I put the installation itself, etc. To be specific, I'm
installing tomcat.
If someone can tell me where to find documents that specify such
Debian standards, I'd appreciate it.
Somewhere in the official Debian documentation there is a document which
tells how to create a Debian package; I've seen the document. Google
for "Debian package HOWTO", etc. And don't forget to go directly to
www.debian.org; oftentimes that is easier than searching with Google or
even with "www.google.com/linux".
And I seem to recall seeing in the official documentation a document
which tells how to install "foreign" software without creating a Debian
package for it.
