Bug#1040226: tomcat10: deployment-time Java EE to Jakarta EE migration fails

use Reply All regardless of the message content.

That’s exactly what I meant by “making sysops’ lives more complicated by
giving them one WAR file to install on Bookworm and another one to 
install on Bullseye”, so it’s out of question for me in production.

I created https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/tomcat10/-/merge_requests/1
