Bug Description

Tomcat 8.0.x is slated for EOL in June, and Debian's tomcat8 packages have already been on Tomcat 8.5.x for a while (it's in both their stable release (stretch) and in backports for the previous stable release (jessie-backports)). However, on the Ubuntu side, even the upcoming Ubuntu Artful tomcat8 package is still on version 8.0.38.

It seems like Ubuntu should be keeping up here and be including Tomcat 8.5.x in the upcoming release.

Debian package: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/tomcat8
Apache Tomcat 8.0 EOL statement: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-80-eol.html

If you would like to help fix dogtag upstream, we can let tomcat8 sync. Debian chose to break those packages instead.

I don't know the story or details here, but artful seems to have synced tomcat8 version 8.5.16-1 now (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat8)
