Package: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.32-7
I installed the Debian wheezy net install dated December 8th, 2011, for AMD-64,
and selected the 'SSH Server' option during install.
I then executed the commad:
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre-headless
Which appeared to complete without error.
I then executed the command
$ sudo apt-get install tomcat6
Which failed in the tomcat6 initscript:

invoke-rc.d: initscript tomcat6, action start failed.
If I edit '/etc/default/tomcat6' to specify my JAVA_HOME as
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64' the tomcat6 init script is able to run
successfully.
The tomcat6 initscript checks a hard-coded list of jvm paths, and the location
of my openjdk-7 installation is not among them.
Of interest, the tomcat7 init script checks first for
'/usr/lib/jvm/default-java', but that wouldn't have helped since the openjdk-7
installation doesn't create that path. So presumably this bug would also apply
to tomcat7, but I have not tested that.
