  NO SESSION NEEDED
  
  User Stories:
  
+ Frank has been using the Ubuntu provided/Canonical supported tomcat6
+ package for the last couple of years but he now has a requirement to
+ deploy application on Tomcat 7 whilst still ensuring his environment is
+ kept up-to-date and secure.  By deploying Ubuntu 12.10 he can a) easily
+ transition his existing Tomcat 6 environments and b) support new Tomcat
+ 7 requirements.
+ 
  Assumptions:
+ 
+ - tomcat7 package should provide a suitable transition path from tomcat6.
+ - tomcat7 does not introduce any new significant dependency requirements.
+ - Reverse-Depends on tomcat6 can be transitioned to use tomcat7.
+ - libservlet2.5-java packages will be retained in some form for source compat.
+ - tomcat6 will be dropped from the archive, not deprecated (TBD late in cycle).
  
  Test Plan:
  
+ 1) Upgrade Path
+ 
+ Installed Ubuntu 12.04 with tomcat6; upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10; tomcat6 is
+ replaced with tomcat7 and all web applications and configuration is
+ transitioned to the new package locations.
+ 
+ 2) Charm
+ 
+ Juju charm for tomcat will not support tomcat6 for Ubuntu 12.10.
+ tomcat7 will be deployed as the only option.
+ 
  Release Note:
+ 
+ Ubuntu 12.10 provides Apache Tomcat 7 as the default, supported version
+ of Tomcat.  Existing installations should be automatically upgraded from
+ Apache Tomcat 6.
