I think, I know why the customer means this: the download page from Tomcat [1] lists only 5.0.30-beta and 5.0.28. This said, I don't know how to convince your customer that the Debian version is stable enough for his purposes. Just tell him that OpenSource betas are more stable than many commercial releases ;-) More seriously, you could try to argue that beta doesn't mean unstable, it just means that the product has not been completely tested; and the fact that it reached etch/stable means that it has been tested and that it's stable enough for Debian standards, which are knowingly high.
