I believe that is referring to the version in  my PPA at
https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/tomcat8v2/+packages. It
feels more productive to contact me directly, but on the list is fine
too.

That test build was for several LP bugs for tomcat8.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat8/+bug/1593854 - no
response to latest testing yet
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat7/+bug/1482893 - no
testing feedback
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat8/+bug/1606331 -
tested successfully
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat8/+bug/1644144 - no
testing feedback

It's hard for me, with confidence, to upload fixes to the archive with
no testing feedback. And, it's not uncommon for there to be "races"
between uploaders -- in this case, ubuntu1.4 has a fix for a totally
unrelated bug to the above.
