I just pulled down tomcat 4.0, which requires jdk1.3 (or 1.2.2 with jndi), jsse, and jmx packages from sun which are all non-free. Won't this relegate tomcat to the contrib section? Blackdown provides non-free debs for jdk1.3 but jsse and jmx are only available in zip form with a fairly restrictive license. How do you plan to help distribute those packages? FYI: I've decided to experiment making debs using tomcat, so I'm wrestling with this issue right now. I've decided to make 'installer' debs which install the zip file from /tmp.
