jpackage seems to need more than just the module in the run-time image. 
I did the jpackage build again including it in the --add-modules

This now shows it there…

exec java --list-modules | grep jpackage
System.in:35:jdk.incubator.jpackage at 14

However, I still get this…

exec jpackage --version
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "jpackage": error=2, No such file or directory
	at java.base/java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source)
	at java.base/java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source)

Running it directly now works…

./jpackage --version
WARNING: Using incubator modules: jdk.incubator.jpackage
14

Which I think again shows the module is included in the run-time image.

Possibly there is some other dependency. I’ll have to figure that out or wait until jpackage is out of incubator.
