Hi all :)

For those wondering, a bug is considered fixed in Ubuntu once a fix for
it is available in the current development release. However, if the bug
is considered import (such as I believe in this case) it is possible to
request a Stable Release Upgrade, see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for details.

I have therefore prepared and attached a debdiff which should fix the
issue for 14.04, assuming it passes review.

Some details on the debdiff:
I looked at http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-java/trunk/jetty/debian/?view=log for the changes which occured in version 6.1.26-2 of jetty which fixed the issue. These were the revisions 18019, 18020 and 18027. As we see from the changelog, this also includes the former Ubuntu-patch which was upstream (with added support for openjdk-8). I didn't not include this patch, because the majority of it is already in the existing package and I wanted to keep the SRU patch as minimal as possible. If it makes more sense or is easier to include all of 6.1.26-2, this can of course be done. In essence, I have included the changes in r18019 and r18020 which changes the dependencies from tomcat6 to tomcat7 which should resolve this issue.

If anyone have any details to add to the SRU request, feel free to add
it. We need to say something about the regression potential for this to
be accepted, and I don't really know how to assess this. I hope someone
can outline this. We are switching the dependencies from one version of
tomcat to a different one, and while it should be ok, we need to make
sure no regressions are introduced because of this.


** Patch added: "debdiff.patch"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jetty/+bug/1286779/+attachment/4213842/+files/debdiff.patch

** Description changed:

  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.
