I don't see what /var/lib has to do with Tomcat. Tomcat is not a library.

I'm tired of trying to find files that belong to a package and that 
'make install' spreads all over the system. My proposal will break FHS 
as it is now, in favor of a more package centric layout.

Let define a top level directory for packages as $PKGS (fill in with 
/opt, /block, /pkg).

$PKGS/tomcat/
             /conf
             /bin
             /lib
             /doc
             /src
             /log        (a symlink to /var/log/tomcat as a last resort)
             /META-INF   (yes, a meta directory to be used by generic tools)

Shared data cannot reside in $PKGS, so:

/var/www                Document root.
/var/www/webapps        Web applications.
