Thank you for your patience in this.  I am considering uploading a 
version that reverts the change for #665393 (Provide 'debian' version 
symlink for Maven artifacts) until we get all of the ramifications the 
libservlet2.4 -> 2.5 upgrade ironed out.  I'm questioning whether we 
might need to create a transitional libservlet2.4-java package (without 
the debian symlink for the maven artifacts) to provide a smooth upgrade 
path.

Thoughts from the team regarding either of those ideas?

Thank you,
tony
