Hi all,

I just has been affected by this now. I was to updated a fleet of old 
VMs with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with Tomcat 7 to Debian 12 with Tomcat 9 .

I know that the remove tomcat9 packages was done on December of 2023 and 
that this was decided a long time ago. But I think that nobody has 
stopped to consider that you *cannot simply migrate from Tomcat 9 to 10 
*(inserte here meme), because the javax.* to jakarta.* packages problem. 
The changes needed to move a web application from javax to jackarte 
aren't simple to do. Specially when *3rd party java libraries, aren't 
migrated yet to jakarta packages* ( for example Apache Commons Email ). 
I really hope that someone could reconsider to keep both Tomcat 9 and 
Tomcat 10 on Debian 12. If some help it's needed to do this, I could 
help (however I don't have idea how to do this).

I choose Debian instead of keeping using Ubuntu server, because the well 
know stability of Debian (plus I HATE Canonical weird things and forcing 
snap on everything) and I don't expected this kind of changes inside a 
stable version. I was expecting that Tomcat 9 would be removed in Debian 
13, specially when I first configured our Debian 12 virtual machine 
template, Tomcat 9 was yet there.

PD: Sorry, if I write something that sounds weird on English, this isn't 
my mother language.
