Bug#452370: tomcat5.5: build libservlet2.4-java package from Tomcat sources

[Marcus Better]

Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.25-1
Severity: normal

The libservlet2.4-java{-gcj} packages are currently built from source
package libservlet2.4-java, which contains only sources extracted from
Tomcat. This leads to source duplication which is a Bad Thing. (I
believe the reason for doing this was to break dependency cycles, but
now that Tomcat is in the archive there is no reason to do this.)

Unless someone opposes this, I am going to have tomcat5.5 build those
packages instead. Then the libservlet2.4-java source package can be
removed.
