You don't have to migrate to the jakarta.* namespace yet, Tomcat 10 
supports both javax and jakarta webapps, just install the 
tomcat-jakartaee-migration package and drop your .war file to the 
webapps-javaee directory, the classes will be automatically converted, see:

https://tomcat.apache.org/migration-10.html#Specification_APIs

This won't happen unfortunately, Tomcat is a security intensive package 
and we can really maintain efficiently only one version per Debian release.

The javax->jakarta transition is annoying for everyone, but you should 
blame Oracle lawyers for this mess, the Debian Java Team is just 
following the trend.
