That version is over three years old and does not include copyXML in a 
<Context> element.  Not keeping up with current releases opens your website up 
to attacks fixed in later versions.

As you should.

You can set copyXML in the <Host> element if you insist on running old software.

Which may or may not be correct, since third-party distributions often 
cherry-pick changes to include, along with generally corrupting the standard 
Tomcat file layout.

I strongly recommend that you deinstall the Debian package and use a current, 
real Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org.
