I'll ask, but the impression I get from reading around is that web.xml
should simply be edited.

If it turns out that the above is correct, then I think that the Debian
package should be able to enable this (eg by making web.xml a symlink to
somewhere where it can be a conffile).

I'll report back here either way!
