I haven't found anything in the Debian policy manual that contradicts it (but I also haven't looked very much). But it's uncomfortable to have a manually stopped tomcat be started again on upgrade. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (700, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-rc5-Avar-Akbar+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tomcat6 depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii tomcat6-common 6.0.28-1 Servlet and JSP engine -- common f Versions of packages tomcat6 recommends: ii authbind 1.2.0 Allows non-root programs to bind() Versions of packages tomcat6 suggests: ii tomcat6-admin 6.0.28-1 Servlet and JSP engine -- admin we ii tomcat6-docs 6.0.28-1 Servlet and JSP engine -- document ii tomcat6-examples 6.0.28-1 Servlet and JSP engine -- example pn tomcat6-user <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/tomcat6/server.xml changed [not included] /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml' -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Closing, this is a configuration question and not a packaging issue. I guess SystemD in Jessie helped a bit here since it allows one to disable a service, then the restart on a package upgrade has no effect.
