Hi Mauro,
Thank you for your feedback on the jetty8 package.

As I understand jetty-contexts.xml is missing from /etc/jetty8, this is
the configuration file defining the ContextProvider.

This is fixed in the next update.

According to the Jetty documentation jetty-setuid isn't part of the
Jetty 8 distribution from Eclipse (it was part of the Hightide
distribution from Codehaus and is now bundled with Jetty 9). This is an
independent project that should be packaged separately [1].
Alternatively, it should be possible to achieve the same feature with
authbind. It's already used by the tomcat package and works well.
