tomcat6 (6.0.18-0ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low
* debian/rules: call dh_installinit with --error-handler so that install
doesn't fail if Tomcat cannot be started during configure (LP: #274365)

I don't think a PreDepends is necessary in that case. It may be an issue
with a circular dependency.
Here is a log of the postinst:
Setting up sun-java6-jre (6-07-4ubuntu2) ...
Setting up libcommons-daemon-java (1.0.2~svn20061127-9ubuntu1) ...
Setting up jsvc (1.0.2~svn20061127-9ubuntu1) ...
Using aptitude instead apt-get leads to a functional tomcat6. Although
tomcat6 fails to configure the first time, aptitude retries once all the
package have been configured.
In the case of smart-pm it handles the installation correctly, though
emitting a warning about a dependency problem:

Rather than a complex pre-depend on a virtual we should just make the
installation succeed even if tomcat startup failed (use --error-
handler=true in dh_installinit in debian/rules).
