In the Debian world, they typically pick a version of any packaged software and /might/ backport individual fixes from later releases, but won't update to a newer minor version in most cases.
I'm not really sure where the sources are kept for the Debian packages, but there you should be able to see the commit history, and potentially all fixes that have been backported. Personally, I find Tomcat releases stable (and backwards-compatible) enough that I rarely rely on any distribution for Tomcat installations, but rather take the stock download from tomcat.apache.org and add a daemon start script.
