[Bug 577683] [NEW] tomcat6 directory structure broken

[Rob Holman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tomcat6

For whatever reason, the tomcat6 install in Lucid (and I think previous
distros) is divided among /usr/share/tomcat6 and etc/tomcat6. However,
the necessary symlink is not present to allow Tomcat to access conf
files where it expects them to be, usr/share/tomcat6/conf. Also, the
/logs folder doesn't exist, and thus will generate an error on startup
unless the user creates this folder.

If there is a compelling reason not to honor the file-structure that the
Apache.org distribution of Tomcat uses, then at least the links and
folders should be put in place to allow Tomcat to start successfully and
function out of the box, without forcing the user to resort to using
sudo privileges to fix it by hand.
