Hm, I thought that would happen automatically when I checked the "this-
is-a-patch"-box. I could have sworn it did so in the past. Anyways, I'll
subscribe them manually now.

>As for the regression potential...

I see your point. What I'm worried about is that if this is accepted and
goes through, every person with libjetty-extra-java installed will be
switched from tomcat6 to 7 and I feel on shaky ground when trying to
assess what could wrong when this happens. If you don't mind we could
add something along the lines of your comment in the regression
potential section in the description.

Title:
  Please migrate libjetty-extra-java to tomcat7

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Fix Released
Status in jetty package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in jetty package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  libjetty-extra-java still depends on libtomcat6-java which prevents it
  from being installed alongside other programs which depend on tomcat7.
  According to the Debian bug report, Eclipse is among these programs.

  (Another it causes problems for is gradle which cannot currently be
  installed at the same time as tomcat7. Gradle's explicit dependency on
  tomcat6 has been removed (see bug 997743for details) and should have
  fixed it, but since gradle also depends on libjetty-extra-java the
  issue is still present. )

  
  SRU for 14.04:

  [Impact]
  It is very hard to use this package in conjuction with relevant development tools because they depend on different versions on tomcat which means you can't install both.

  [Test case]
  For instance `sudo apt-get install eclipse libjetty-extra` will fail because eclipse wants tomcat7, but libjetty-extra-java currently needs tomcat6.
