Hello Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug.  We can certainly do a
better job of coordinating uploads of new upstream versions of
tomcat-native and tomcat in the future.  In this case, it didn't take
long for tomcat7 to require the latest version of tomcat-native (tcn
1.1.24 was released on 2012/06/13 and tomcat 7.0.28 just 6 days later).

I have built a copy of upstream 1.1.24 to get a look at the differences
between the upstream source versions.  The upstream source differences
are fairly minimal - about 95% of the diff consists of the configure
script and documentation changes - but we'll have to see if we can get a
freeze exception to allow the newer version of tomcat-native into wheezy
and I want to coordinate with Damien before uploading to unstable.

In the meantime, if you'd like to use that packaging signed source and
binary packages are available here [1] and [2], respectively.

Cheers,
tony
