Whilst this is the current situation for tomcat9 (although not without some
outstanding issues[1]), I would like to encourage you to reconsider this for
tomcat10.
Maintaining initscripts in their parent package remains the best
option. Notwithstanding Matthew's considerable efforts, putting them in
orphan-sysvinit-scripts has a number of difficulties that are outlined in the
orphan-sysvinit-scripts source README[2].
Including the supplied script with Andreas' offer of ongoing testing and support
within tomcat10 would
- provide the smoothest experience users of all init systems
- be of no detriment to users of the default init system
- place no additional burden on you as maintainer
Thanks again for your further consideration.
Mark
