In my experience, the package manager repos almost always lag behind (sometimes WAY behind) on Tomcat versions. It might not seem to be a problem to hang a couple versions back, but you could miss a critical security patch this way. I would suggest that you install the latest release from tomcat.apache.org, and keep an eye on the mailing lists for announcements regarding security advisories and version updates.
