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 __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
