Hi Lazlo, I hadn't seen that JIRA issue yet :) I am indeed working in packaging and have taken a different approach, which provides for much cleaner distro support. I'm currently finishing up on having the exact same installer working for both centos7 and fedora2x without any need for special customization. It's working well with both java 7 and 8, build test and runtime as far as I can see :) I'll be committing the fedora part later on https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/238 this :) Perhaps you could help test if everything is ok?
About the reverse proxy, it might have numerous reasons :) The most popular reason for putting tomcat behind an httpd is because of historic bad performance in tomcat for serving static files and such, this would allow for caching on a faster engine :) There's also a reason of security, which might lead some folks into having specific machines designed to secure http traffic between zones or something of the sorts.
