Bug#392569: tomcat5.5: Fails to restart after upgrade from 17-1 to 17-2

[Mike Whitaker]

Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.17-2
Severity: normal

Fails to restart after upgrade. Seems to be because post-inst script
fails to update permissions on logs in /var/lib/tomcat5.5/logs/ - 
they're still owned by tomcat5, not tomcat5.5
