No objection from me but I think this is a really a bad idea. Tomcat 8.0.x will be EOLed at the end of June 2018, upstream will thus drop security support 2 months after the release of the next Ubuntu LTS. If you go this way I have a few suggestions: - Use tomcat8.0 as package name (for consistency with past Tomcat packages) - Don't build libservlet3.1-java (the one from src:tomcat8 can be reused) - If dogtag-pki only uses tomcat8-user (and its dependencies), don't build the tomcat8 binary to ensure nobody installs an obsolete daemon accidentally. - File a RC bug to prevent the migration to testing Emmanuel Bourg
