server.number reports 6.0.0.0 not 6.0.X.0

Right, we use upstream build.xml file and it says:
  <property name="version.major" value="6" />
  <property name="version.minor" value="0" />
  <property name="version.build" value="0" />
  <property name="version.patch" value="0" />
  <property name="version.number" value="${version.major}.${version.minor}.${version.build}.${version.patch}" />

We should update that at buildtime.

I'm adding the following to debian/rules in Debian. Do you see any problem with starting Tomcat or is it only in Debian?
