Package: tomcat5.5-webapps
Version: 5.5.26-5
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1


This package includes the following files:

/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/jsp-examples/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar

which correspond to the following files in the source tarball:

servletapi/jsr152/examples/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar

The source package does not include their source code.  This goes
against the DFSG requirement that "the program must include source
code" therefore the package at present should not be in main.
This jar file does not have a package in the Debian archive; for
this package to remain in main the relevant source code should be
found and packaged for Debian and the new packages should be added
to Depends and/or Build-Depends-Indep.  Once this process is complete
the package's source tarball should be repackaged not to include the
above listed jar files.
