[pkg-eucalyptus-maintainers] Request for review: jetty8

[Charles Plessy]

Dear all,

if I remember well, eucalyptus uses jetty.  Please see below about the arrival
of jetty 8 in Debian, and the interrogation about a possible removal of jetty
6, and do not hesitate to join the discussion on the pkg-java list if
eucalyptus needs to stick on jetty 6.

Have a nice day,
