jpackage does not include extra files from app-image when creating Debian package?

I'm creating an app image with the following commands*:
jlink --output runtime --module-path [..] --add-modules [..] --bind-services
jpackage --type app-image --dest image --module [..] --runtime-image runtime --name Name
Now i copy some extra files to the resulting image, which are needed
during program execution.
After that i can create an MSI installer with the following command*:
jpackage --type msi --dest installer --app-image image --name Name
As the result I get an installer which also includes the extra files
which I added to the app-image an the extra files are installed along
with the rest of the image.
But if i do the same, creating a Debian installer package (deb), then
the extra files are not included.
jpackage --type deb --dest installer --app-image image --name Name
The resulting deb installs just fine, but the files are not included in
the deb archive and are obviously not written to the installation directory.
Did I miss something, or is this not possible when creating an Debian
package?
* I removed some trivial parameters like --vendor, --copyright,
--resource-dir, e.t.c. to keep the commandlines short
