This is something we aim for in Debian 13. For now 1.2.35 should work just fine
despite the warning.

We will remove Tomcat 9 in the near future because we can support only one
version. I guess we can rename libtcnative-1 to just libtcnative instead of
creating a new libtcnative-2 package. I'm sure we will make a decision after
