I gathered that eventually. So I moved my --module-path from jpackage
to jlink, thus packaging my application with the runtime image then
used with jpackage.

The gradle task installDist assembles my application with all its
dependencies under bulld/install/app/,
and that File is just to avoid hard coding the path to its lib
directory with all my JARs.
I removed that --module-path when running jpackage and included it
instead with jlink.

It is running jlink from JDK 11.
The module path has the Java 11 jmods at /usr/java/jdk-11/jmods. My
application and all its dependencies which includes the FX at
${libDir}.
