Bug#388130: tomcat5: dies if started under debconf

[Darrin Thompson]

Package: tomcat5
Version: 5.0.30-10
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Daemonizing by using shell backgrounding alone leaves the daemon
processes exposed to SIGHUP. This can be a problem when the daemon is
started in an environment controlled by debconf.

Using nohup introduces no new dependencies and protects the java and
rotatelogs processes from being killed when debconf shuts down.
