tomcat has the following dependency: j2sdk1.4 | j2sdk1.3 | kaffe

Therefore if you don't have a non-free jdk installed already on your
system, kaffe is needed as a dependency.

However unstable is currently broken for kaffe. This is no bug
but a "feature" of unstable due to the c++ transition.

Solution:
Use the stable version of debian or you have to wait until
the c++ transition is done !
