Bug#906770: README.Debian could use some clarificatons

Source: jetty9
Severity: normal

For my tests of the jetty9 security update for stretch (released as
DSA 4278) I had looked into creating a test setup and the README.Debian
confused me quite a bit (and external references usally refer to a
totally different way to deploy Jetty using the upstream packages):

It mentions:
| Additional contexts can be configured and (hot) deployed via the
| /etc/jetty9/contexts directory (linked from /usr/share/jetty9/contexts).

But it seems that is now replaced by /etc/jetty9/start.d?`

Also from
| Webapps can be deployed by placing them in /var/lib/jetty9/webapps
| (linked from /usr/share/jetty9/webapps)

it wasn't obvious for me whether the .war file or a config file should
be placed in /var/lib/jetty9/webapps.

(I eventually had a look at solr-jetty (which I eventually used for testing) and
it places a symlink to /etc/solr/sol-jetty.xml in there.)

Cheers,
        Moritz
