Further update:
Good news. With the proper certs installed, I can notarize a pkg
installer generated by jpackage (from JDK-15). I have confirmed this
works both with pkg that is built with one jpackage command, and with
two a phase build (where an app-image is created by the first jpackage
command, and then the pkg is built by second jpackage command using the
--app-image option).
I will close JDK-8241451 as not an issue with proper evaluation.

Update on notarization of jpackage artifacts:
Changes have been made (as part of JDK-8237490
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8237490>) that enable
notarization of dmg files and zipped app-images assembled and signed
using jpackage tool.
Given that, the current package layout on mac will not be an obstacle
to notarization.
The only reason "pkg" files (see JDK-8241451) are not included in that
list is I did not at that time have the required valid certificate
("Developer ID: installer").
I have just obtained access to the required certificate and should
soon be able to determine if the current code (in JDK-15) supports
notarizing 'pkg" type installers, or if other changes will be needed
as part of JDK-8241451.

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>
There are no errors reported during the build
Cheers,

I also notice that the background image and Applications folder alias that are
supposed to be in the disk image don?t seem to work in Catalina, so I may give
up on having jpackage create my disk images as well, and do that using native
tools, until that can be fixed. (I realize it is in early access still, and
hope these issues are being worked on.)
What exactly is wrong with the background image? Were there any build
errors reported during packaging?
The creation of the disk image is done via some script and you can tell
jpackage via the
option --temp <some empty dir> to dump that into a temporary folder. You
can modify it
and place it into another folder which you tell jpackage via
--resource-dir <some dir with the modified script>
Maybe you can fix your issue that way or at least you can find out what
the problem is.
I am still on the previous version of macOS until all these Catalina
issues are sorted out.
Java/JavaFX on Catalina is a mess right now.
