Tomcat 8.0.x is slated for EOL in June, and Debian's tomcat8 package has 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)).

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

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