I assume these packages should go to multiverse.

please try to build the package in your PPA to better see some problems.

- the glassfishv2 package currently fails to build from source in hardy

- it is architecture dependent, not independent

- the included binaries are i386 only, missing dependencies on required
libraries

- why "Replaces: glassfish"? afaik the original intent was to be able to 
install both
  versions in parallel to allow the user a smooth upgrade.

- config files should go into /etc

- the -jre dependencies are redundant, as you already depend on the -jdk
packages.

- is glassfish started at system startup time? which user runs glassfish? If 
yes, then
  an init script and creating and removal of a user `glassfish' are missing.

- please use the debconf system for interaction with the user during 
installation
  (see the sun-java6 package or any other package depending on debconf for
  an example).

- examples go to <docdir>/examples

- I didn't look too hard where the administrator is supposed to install 
applications.
  But there's no place for that in /var/lib, or in /usr/local/. users should 
not be
  encouraged to install stuff in /usr.

- where are log files written? These should not go in /usr, but in /var/log, or
  /var/log/<subdir>
