I posted something like this earlier, but I guess I hit the wrong button.

For rpmlint, symlink-should-be-relative is a warning, not an error. The only
errors have to do with file permissions (normal for a daemon) and the use of
/var/tmp/tomcat6 which is a link from /usr/share/tomcat6/temp, so it appears to
be necessary. I don't know of any other package that owns a directory under
/var/tmp, though.

I will change the Group tags back.

I need to think more about the tomcat6 script. What is the use case? Is it
always called from the initscript with the proper user set? Should the
command-line options be getopt style or just stick to the same options as in
dtomcat6? I would like to keep dtomcat6 for compatibility and I guess have
tomcat6 call to dtomcat6 (which is how it worked in tomcat5).

I think you are right about the Provides. Another issue is that there is a
servletapi6 package in JPackage 5.0/devel, whereas tomcat6 is in JPackage 5.0
(main). I think that tomcat6 should Provides/Obsoletes servletapi6 so this looks
like an upstream JPackage bug.
