Umm, as far as I understand the Debian packaging policy, this would be
a severe violation of "no unneccesary package bloat" -policy. Dozens
of lines of code for a simple ln -s. IMO it is the responsibility of
the webapp package requiring database access to manage any symlinks,
not of Tomcat, not of the database, nor a specialized Tomcat DB
package.
