Debian and Ubuntu usually build and run Tomcat with the same version of Java. For example Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and the upcoming Debian 9 default to Java 8 (Java 7 has been removed). Tomcat 7 is no longer supported for these versions (Ubuntu switched to Tomcat 8 and Debian will remove it in a few months, the general rule is to keep only one version of Java and Tomcat per major release). In the previous release Tomcat 7 was built with Java 7. This issue may arise if the user installs its own Java 7 and use it to run Tomcat instead of the JRE provided by the distribution. I can address that in Debian by ensuring the package dependencies are more strict (please file a bug against the tomcat8 package if it's affected too).
