JEP 343 & JEP 392 both specify that jpackage by default does not include service providers unless `--bind-services` is included.  This should be fixed to match the JEP and there is no difference in behavior with a linkable runtime or non-linkable.   A CSR is required for this fix due the behavioral change. 

If `--bind-services` is included, `jdk.package` and `jdk.jlink` will be included in the default module set as expected.   I would suggest to wait and see if any customer uses the linkable runtime and depends on `jpackage --add-modules ALL-DEFAULT --bind-services`.    ALL-DEFAULT should have the same meaning/result as used at run time.  If this limitation becomes a major concern, could consider a new jpackage-specific token or a new option etc rather than changing the behavior of ALL-DEFAULT.
