  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 applications 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.  Successful charm testing
  of the tomcat7 charm.
  
  3) New Install
  
  A user is able to select the 'Tomcat' task selection from the Ubuntu
  Server ISO and post reboot has a working tomcat7 deployment.  Automated
  ISO testing will also validate this against every daily image.
  
  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.
+ Ubuntu 12.10 provides Apache Tomcat 7 as the default, supported version of Tomcat.  Existing installations should be automatically upgraded from Apache Tomcat 6.
