ecj 3.8 declares an additional method in the ICompilationUnit interface.
This change broke the compatibility.

You can't depend on the version in stable, the goal is to build a set of
packages that work together. You can't rely on an older revision of a
package that is no longer available in the current distribution.
The solution is to patch the tomcat6 package. You can look at the
commons-jci and jasperreports packages which were also affected by this
issue. The patch is trivial, and that's a good opportunity to learn quilt :)
This issue has also been fixed upstream, so upgrading the package to the
version 6.0.37 might be an alternative.
