I’ll update the sysvinit branch and publish a new build of the package
in my personal APT repository then (I’ve not done so for a while since
I’m currently not in a Java™ project). If that’s enough for you that
is — I can sign checksums with my Debian Developer PGP key for you to
verify.

>May I kindly ask for a short summary about the state of affairs?

Emmanuel blocks this because he does not like adduser, the Debian gold
standard for adding users to the system. Emmanuel is the primary pak‐
kage maintainer for tomcat9.

In bookworm AFAICT systemd-somethingd to add users has been split off
and might be usable from sysvinit, but that won’t help bullseye and
buster users. The relevant changes might be added during backporting,
but the backports policy frowns on this, and since Emmanuel blocked
testing the changes widely for so long, it might be rejected.

Yes, I hate users and I want them to suffer.
