Source: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.45+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Tags: stretch sid


Tomcat 6 should not be included in Stretch since it reaches
end-of-life on 31 December 2016. [1]

There is now only one package that depends on libservlet2.5-java,
libfreemarker-java. [2]

I think it is realistic that we can resolve this issue too in the near
future and the removal of src:tomcat6 should be doable. I suggest that
we investigate whether bugs in src:tomcat6 and src:tomcat7 also apply
to src:tomcat8 before we request the removal.
