Yes, thats the main reason. We will have to upload two more tomcat5
dependencies and a new kaffe package and then tomcat5 can be in main.

This want be possible with the 5.5.x version atm. However ones I found
some time I will have a look at 5.5.x - however I will only invest time
packaging it if it builds/works with free runtimes.
