What about the logs produced by the java tomcat9 process? They will be owned by tomcat:adm, and there is no config tweak that I know of to change that: the process just runs as tomcat. In the current debian packaging of tomcat9 all its logs are consistent in their ownership: tomcat:adm. What is the argument we have to ask the debian packager to change that so that one set of logs is root:adm, and the other is tomcat:adm?

And it's probably again in the systemd journal, no? :)

Let's switch to code. What is our concrete proposal for debian to change its logging for tomcat9? We need to consider the 4 things that write to /var/log/tomcat9:
- rsyslog
- tomcat9 itself
- logrotate
- tomcat9's postinst script
