There are now quite a few servlet dependant tools out there. I would
like to see this done as well, for 2 reasons:

1. I'm the architect of the GNU-Paperclips servlet container which I
would like to get into Debian for the next release

2. I'm involved in several projects that will utilise servlet
containers and I'd like those to be Debianized too.
