Hi,

With my dogtag-pki/tomcatjss maintainer hat on, I wasn't too happy to 
see a bug report about tomcat9 getting removed from bookworm while it 
was frozen already. Upstream doesn't support tomcat10 yet and so far has 
no plans for it (even after a year of poking about it).

Tomcat9 is in universe. According to rmadison, it hasn't received many 
updates and even less security ones... Would it be unreasonable to keep 
an uncrippled tomcat9 in noble so that dogtag-pki has a chance? Or at 
least provide the minimal set of packages for it (lib, -user, -common)..


Upstream says tomcat9 still has life left in it:
