A quick question about jspwiki's interaction with tomcat. The current package assumes the existence of the tomcat55 user and /etc/tomcat55/ directories, the latter in order to create symlinks. However, it only suggests the tomcat package. If we don't want to require the user to install tomcat, then the next best user I can see to use is www-data. But given the general reliance on tomcat, it seems better to just depend on tomcat6. Any opinions on adding a tomcat dependency? I realise that it's conceivable to run JspWiki without it, but suspect that the vast majority of users would prefer for the wiki to work "out-of-the-box" (i.e. with minimal setup). Thanks, tony
