title: Tomcat6 in Debian?
body: <p>Could someone explain the status of Tomcat6 in Debian to me? My confusion arises from the fact that I can only find a "source" package in Lenny (the stable release) and a "normal"(?) package in Squeeze (testing release). Applicable links:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/tomcat6" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/tomcat6</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/tomcat6" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/tomcat6</a></p>
  
  <p>What is the difference between a source package and 'normal' package? Does this just mean I would have to compile tomcat from source in lenny, but squeeze will have it available to install directly from apt-get? I'm also a bit confused as to why squeeze has a java subsection in its package list but lenny doesnt, although I suppose this might just be a new scheme for the new version?</p>
  
  <p>I hope this is programming related enough for SO, didn't seem like it was applicable for ServerFault. Thanks in advance for bearing with my debian newbieness :P</p>
