Hi! I had the same "problem" with non-debian configuration. I wanted also to set up XWiki as root. As Tomcat is not exactly web server, there are some solutions:
1. The way you described. As far as I understood you have now "wikiless" path - without /xwiki part. I raised this problem some time ago and Sergiu Dumitriu answered me following: > 1.

XWiki should work just fine with the shorter URLs. The "xwikiless" information might be very outdated, when it used to be true that some parts of XWiki would fail. I didn't get exact consequences of "very outdated" , thus solved it other way. 2. Set up Glassfish (or any other) - it can manage ROOT fine itself. 3. "Cover" Tomcat with an web server. I found nginx as best solution for me. Finally I set up Tocat + nginx, that makes it very flexible and fast. If you need - write me in private, I'd share a nginx configuration to solve a problem: mydomain.com -> nginx -> localhost:8080/xwiki. So, endusers use only mydomain.com paths. The same is possible with any web-server actually.
