Would be helpful to see some examples how to combine these to specify
the package resources, as a part of the help output.
Tried
        '--input', "${buildDir}/deploy/package",
        '--files', 'movies.png',
        '--module-path', "${buildDir}/deploy/package",

The menu icon for package resource can be set by either --icon or the
resource package/app.png. What I meant is there is no CLI argument for
the other package resources like "Menu shortcut descriptor", "RPM spec
file". Then why only have argument for icon.

I did not get any problems with using both --module-path and
--runtime-image with jpackage.

I didn't quite understand what you meant with this.
I did run jlink first to create a Java 11 runtime image which I used
with jpackager.
    task createRuntime(type: Exec) {
        dependsOn installDist

        doFirst {
            delete "${buildDir}/runtime"
        }

        def libDir = new File(installDist.outputs.files.singleFile, "lib").path

        commandLine 'jlink',
            '--module-path', "/usr/java/jdk-11/jmods:${libDir}",
            '--add-modules', 'no.smeaworks.movies',
            '--output', "${buildDir}/runtime"
    }
