I might be getting confused. It always packages a runtime for mine. Either a default one that is jlink'ed or you can provide one.

e.g.
ls ~/Documents/Election\ Games/eg_jpkg/outputdir/Election\ Games.app/Contents/runtime/Contents/Home 
conf	legal	lib	release

My memory is more questionable these days but for me, I think for Oracle you download a compressed runtime you decompress and manually add to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.Maybe that’s a dmg, I haven’t done one for a bit. Possibly if someone without their own runtime uses jpackage you download one for them and put it in JavaVirttualMachines? But I still assume you never indicate this as any kind of destination for any jpackage usage do you? It is never a install directory you are expected to know? Or that a dmg indicates as a target destination.
