So how does synaptic know it's officially supported (just because it's in
"main" [and surely "restricted"]?) and what icon to show (hard-coded?).
As I pointed out, though, packages with both a Debian and a Ubuntu candidate
for the same version (even though my pinning _should_ - and will if I use
aptitude - prevent any of the Debian packages except "tomcat*" being
"candidates") get no icon. Seems like a bug...
