Well, this was going to be an open question for everyone. My thoughts
were using installer packages, like your idea below.

*nod*... nice. :-)
I sent an ITP mail to debian-devel yesterday. Unfortunately someone
else had already claimed Tomcat several months back :-( I'm finding out
which version of Tomcat they intend to package (3.x, 4.x or both).
From Stefan's email:
The package is already availabe at http://master.debian.org/~sgybas/tomcat/.
Please read README.Debian and the Debian-Java mailing list archive for
reasons why it's not yet in the official Debian archive.
Cheers,
Marcus
