[Whoops, it seems that this list strips out image attachments, so my first 
attempt to send this message was pretty useless. Trying again, after uploading 
the screenshot to my web server so I can link to it instead.]

Ok, thanks for clarifying that, I will drop my expectations for Catalina 
happiness for the moment, and perhaps can help make things work better when I 
have some time. Is there a pointer at how one gets vetted for submitting pull 
requests? Or I could just look at the source and post ideas here if that is 
better.

For now, here is what a jpackage-created disk image looks like when I open it 
in Catalina: https://deepsymmetry.org/images/jpackage_dmg_screenshot.png

The command that generates this is:
https://github.com/Deep-Symmetry/beat-link-trigger/blob/master/.github/scripts/build_dmg.zsh#L37-L42
 
<https://github.com/Deep-Symmetry/beat-link-trigger/blob/master/.github/scripts/build_dmg.zsh#L37-L42>

There are no errors reported during the build

Cheers,

        -James
