Bug#956804: tomcat9: No way to set CATALINA_OPTS as catalina.sh environment variable

[Radosław Józwik]

Package: tomcat9
Version: 9.0.16-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

there is no way to set CATALINA_OPTS environment variable to be used by catalina.sh
startup script. As described in catalina.sh source:

#   CATALINA_OPTS   (Optional) Java runtime options used when the "start",
#                   "run" or "debug" command is executed.

It is working in tomcat8 package from Debian 9 by setting CATALINA_OPTS
in /etc/default/tomcat8.
