We now have reached the timeout for maintainer feedback on this topic. I
was about to commit your suggested changes and then, after reading your
message I was wondering whether this could be the right time to get rid
of tomcat55ctl.

So I ask tomcat users from this list for feedback. I would like to find
out how often is tomcatXXctl used rather than the rc(8) script. After a
short survey in my surroundings it seems like everybody uses the rc(8)
script and thus removing tomcatXXctl would bring no harm now that rcNG
script no longer uses tomcatXXctl...
