Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.26-5
Severity: minor

When adding a database driver, it must be inserted into the
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory, which translates to
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/lib. This goes against the filesystem
hierarchy standard, which says that /usr/share should be read-only data.

A possible fix would be to, additionally to monitoring the ../common/lib,
to also monitor /var/lib/tomcat5.5/shared/lib. This way, all drivers can
be put into a directory that is intended for read-write use.
