As Wichert said, no problem! You could add a "J2EE appserver" task
which, if selected during installation, would install the packages
that constitute the application server. All those packages would also
be on the CD ROM.
This means that the CD ROM image which your users/customers will be
downloading would largely contain original Debian stuff, but maybe a
few packages, README files etc added by you.
And here's the good news: With the new CD image distribution scheme
that I'm working on (jigdo), you will not need to put that 650MB image
on your server - instead, my tool will download the Debian packages
from a Debian mirror, your packages (and an additional "template"
file) from your server, and assemble an exact copy of your image from
those pieces!
However, it's still quite beta-ish ATM, don't hold your breath.
