Re: Bug#1034824: tomcat9 should not be released with Bookworm

The question is: If we ship libtomcat9-java in Bookworm and change the
dependency from tomcat9-user to tomcat10-user, will a web application
like
dogtag-pki, which is designed for Tomcat 9, continue to work with
Tomcat 10?
I'm pretty sure it won't work. dogtag-pki depends on tomcatjss which is
tightly
coupled with Tomcat's internal code. Unfortunately tomcatjss upstream is
lagging
with the Tomcat 10 adoption [1], and we can't hold back Tomcat 10 in
Debian
indefinitely just for that (for the reminder, Tomcat 10 is a very
important
release implementing the new Jakarta EE specification, not having it in
Bookworm
would be a real disservice to our users).
The thing I don't understand is why a CA webapp needs a custom Tomcat
connector (tomcatjss), maybe it could be patched to work without it?
