I'm experiencing the same problem. I have a path in javaopts (to work around a braindead requirement of one of servlets I need to host).
My debconf entries are: aquinas:~# debconf-show tomcat6 tomcat6/javaopts: -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx128M -DPROTEI_DIR=/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/rvom -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC tomcat6/groupname: tomcat6 tomcat6/username: tomcat6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
