Bug#808378: tomcat8: WARNING: A context path must either be an empty string or start with a '/' and do not end with a '/'. The path [/] does not meet these criteria and has been changed to []

Package: tomcat8
Version: 8.0.28-1
Severity: normal

During Tomcat 8 restart I get warning:

  org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext setPath
  WARNING: A context path must either be an empty string or start with a '/' and do not end with a '/'. The path [/] does not meet these criteria and has been changed to []

I filed bug in upstream with wrong assumption:

  https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58754

and got response that shown that Debian packagers make mistake in

  /usr/share/tomcat8-root/default_root/META-INF/context.xml 

file:

    <Context path="/" 
    antiResourceLocking="false" />

Docs say:

  https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html

  If the context path is the empty string them the base name will be ROOT
  (always in upper case) otherwise the base name will be the context path with
  the leading '/' removed and any remaining '/' characters replaced with '#'.

Using "/" as path may result that context will not be deployed:
