this doesn't change anything really, I asked about it so we have a default
tomcat(latest version) which people can depend on and not care whether it's 5,6
or 7. But this doesn't stop people from creating tomcat7 package once the main
tomcat package goes to e.g. version 8. 
Though I don't believe that there will be people interested in doing this as
tomcat5 is not really maintained and I had to keep it working/building just
because of packages depending on it but nobody touching the tomcat5. I spent
long enough time on this issue to make me sure that we need one tomcat that
everyone depends on and only people really knowing they need some other version
depending on versioned compat tomcat. This way we can leave them maintain and
not have the Java SIG spend time on them.
