Hello Emmanuel: Thank you for the bug report. This bug appears related to #657630 reported against debconf [1]. I'll look into using the debconf-escape suggestion made there to improve the handling for JAVA_OPTS in the tomcat6 and tomcat7 packages. Thank you, tony [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=657630
