In looking into this, I was confused to discover that the latest version
of jspwiki 2.8.0-5 uploaded to unstable actually does depend on tomcat6,
but didn't close #656153 in the changelog.  (This is certainly my
mistake at the time of the upload.)  So this problem did exist in the -4
version of the package, but doesn't for the version that is in sid (and
was in wheezy up until recently).

What are folks thoughts on trying to get jspwiki reinstated for wheezy?
 The postinst could be made a bit more robust with a patch like the one
attached, but I don't think it makes a difference one way or another
with the direct dependency on tomcat6.

Thank you,
tony
