Sure, it does come from the repositories. Have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
Also, the package itself has a maintainer, and some metainformations. Do this in a terminal to get additional informations: $ apt-cache show tomcat7 You should get something like this: Package: tomcat7 Priority: optional Section: java Installed-Size: 364 Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Debian Java Maintainers <pkg-java-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: all Version: 7.0.52-1 Depends: tomcat7-common (>= 7.0.52-1), ucf, adduser, debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0 Recommends: authbind Suggests: tomcat7-docs (>= 7.0.52-1), tomcat7-admin (>= 7.0.52-1), tomcat7-examples (>= 7.0.52-1), tomcat7-user (>= 7.0.52-1), libtcnative-1 (>= 1.1.24) Filename: pool/main/t/tomcat7/tomcat7_7.0.52-1_all.deb Size: 35564 MD5sum: d68cb5bd4d8955d053fc96f324abb7e7 SHA1: 79e7474cb295194f5acaba7be642eb252f5fcbe0 SHA256: d3f342b49fb35902448bfafb85201ede13eb0b64d72548e66f265ea8a9911aa6 Description-fr: Moteur de servlet et JSP Apache Tomcat implémente les spécifications Java Servlet et JavaServer Pages (JSP) de Sun Microsystems, et fournit un environnement serveur web HTTP « pur Java » pour faire fonctionner le code Java. . Ce paquet contient seulement les scripts de démarrage pour le démon du système. Aucune documentation ou application ne sont incluses ici, veuillez installer les paquets tomcat7-docs et tomcat7-examples si vous le souhaitez. Installez le paquet authbind si vous avez besoin d'utiliser Tomcat sur les ports 1-1023. Installez tomcat7-user au lieu de ce paquet si vous ne voulez pas que Tomcat démarre en tant que service.

Then: $ cd tomcat7-<version> (whatever the directory is named) $ dpkg-buildpackage will build the package from the source you just downloaded.
