Bug#902991: tomcat 7.0.56-3+really7.0.88-* regression

[Sébastien QUESSON]

Package: libtomcat7-java
Version: 7.0.56-3+really7.0.88-1

7.0.56-3+really7.0.88-1 and 7.0.56-3+really7.0.88-2 makes some web application to crash.
We use jasig CAS webapp with a jetty8 daemon. When we try to start jetty8:

2018-07-04 11:48:53.785:INFO:cas:Warning: No org.apache.tomcat.JarScanner set in ServletContext. Falling back to default JarScanner implementation.
2018-07-04 11:48:53.790:WARN:oejs.ServletHandler:

...

        at org.apache.tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanner.process(StandardJarScanner.java:316)



So we downgraded libtomcat7-java to 7.0.56-3+deb8u11, and jetty8 can start:

2018-07-04 13:25:45.392:INFO:cas:Warning: No org.apache.tomcat.JarScanner set in ServletContext. Falling back to default JarScanner implementation.

INFOS: At least one JAR was scanned for TLDs yet contained no TLDs. Enable debug logging for this logger for a complete list of JARs that were scanned but no TLDs were found in them. Skipping unneeded JARs during scanning can improve startup time and JSP compilation time.

I checked changelogs, but could'nt identify why org/apache/tomcat/util/buf/UriUtil cannot be found. Any ideas?
