We've got two serious security issues in the Tomcat init script in the past. I'm not a big fan of systemd but this convinced me that a 40 lines declarative service file was much more maintainable than a 300 lines init script, and I'm unlikely to maintain one anymore. systemd brought other important benefits for the tomcat9 package and I don't want to go back on these features. > To recall the justification I posted to the list that were, > IIRC, never replied: I made the suggestion to package the init script in a separate package under your control, but you didn't follow up.
