Bug#1108280: tomcat10: tomcat doesn't use `jakartaee-migration-shaded.jar` when installed

[Fab Stz]

Hello,

Would you consider these two merge requests? I won't have time to test them though, but applying that change to my /etc/tomcat10/catalina.properties file fixed the issue.

https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/tomcat10/-/merge_requests/2
https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/tomcat11/-/merge_requests/1

You may want to set severity to a higher level so that it can still enter trixie.

Regards
Fab
