I think you are on the wrong thrack. If you execute your 
/etc/bash.bashrc script, the environment variables set by that script 
will not be used by other startup scripts because those other scripts 
are new independent jobs. If you want specific environment variables set 
in a specific script, you should set them in that very script.

Then you refer to /etc/rc5.d/S20tapas-tomcat. Are you sure it will ever 
be used? The default runlevel for Ubuntu is 2, not 5. It would only work 
if you have a special setup which uses runlevel 5.

I think you want to read "/usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.runlevels.gz".
