jdk-module-image is the full modular JDK (equivalent to j2sdk-image that 
you get from jdk8 build).

I would suggest to package the full JDK, i.e. jdk-module-image, as a 
start.   With that, you can start creating modules.

jre-base-image is the minimal base image that contains only the jdk.base 
module.   The other platform modules (jmod files) are under 
jigsaw-pkgs/jmod directory that you can install them into the 
jre-base-image using the jmod command, e.g.
   $ jmod install jdk.jaxp at 8-ea.jmod

FWIW. We're in the process of making the jigsaw developer preview 
binaries available for download and that would probably include these 
jmod files.
