Hi Locutus,
thanks for the report, but this would include this change:
"Depend on taglibs-standard instead of jakarta-taglibs-standard"

That is:

But the former are in main and the new ones only in universe so far:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jakarta-taglibs-standard
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/taglibs-standard/

I think that kills the current sync request.
Has to be made as delta I think.

Title:
  Sync tomcat8 8.0.36-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Status in tomcat8 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Please sync tomcat8 8.0.36-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
    * SECURITY UPDATE: privilege escalation via insecure init script
      - debian/tomcat8.init: don't follow symlinks when handling the
        catalina.out file.
      - CVE-2016-1240

  Fixed in Debian

  Changelog entries since current yakkety version 8.0.36-2ubuntu1:

  tomcat8 (8.0.36-3) unstable; urgency=high

    * Team upload.
    * Fixed CVE-2016-1240: A flaw in the init.d startup script allows local
      attackers who have gained access to the server in the context of the
      tomcat user through a vulnerability in a web application to replace
      the catalina.out file with a symlink to an arbitrary file on the system,
      potentially leading to a root privilege escalation.
      Thanks to Dawid Golunski for the report.
    * Removed the default 128M heap limit (LP: #568823)
    * Depend on taglibs-standard instead of jakarta-taglibs-standard
