Maybe it was installed using a package provided by the platform, in (eminently variable)
other directories.

Try (as root) : service tomcat8 start (or restart or stop ..)
As mentioned before, the Debian package is assembled in such a way that it will function
in the same way as other "services" in the Debian environment, log in the same general
place etc..
The above command in fact runs the shell script at /etc/init.d/tomcat8.
This script sets a number of variables before calling tomcat's startup.sh, changes to the
approriate directory etc..
If you want a tomcat8 which is installed in a single directory, and which reacts in the
"canonical" way as explained on the tomcat website, then you would have to de-install the
Debian tomcat8 package, and install tomcat8 as per the tomcat website.
But that's probably, in your case, more work than necessary.
You just want to run some tomcat applications (webapps), right ?

Ah, some problems are arising because, I suppose, the startup process wants to create or touch something in ../logs and that's now all the way over in /var/lib/tomcat8. How do I move on from here?

On a Debian Linux system, tomcat 8 installed via the standard Debian package manager
results in some files appearing in the following directories (and maybe others)
- /etc/tomcat8
- /usr/share/tomcat8
- /var/lib/tomcat8
- /var/log/tomcat8
- .. ?
Some of the entries in these directories are links pointing somewhere else. It is
sometimes a bit difficult to follow. But it works, and it allows tomcat to be managed
using the Debian usual commands for starting/stopping services, install updates etc..
Use this command to see a full list of the directories/files used :
dpkg --listfiles tomcat8
(Note : this gives a list of directories/files initially reated or installed by the
standard Debian tomcat8 package. But it does not include anything created/installed later
on maybe to "customise" tomcat8 on that machine).

I see it now in /usr/share/tomcat8/bin, thank you! Can I just run startup.sh from there or is that not right?
