A comment suggested opening a bug but I did not find one. [1]: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/80647/where-is-javapackager/
Is this tool even supposed to be in openjdk's jre/sdk? I did not not found a trace in sources.
Not jdk9, nor jdk8 I'm wondering - was this ever spotted only in oracle jdk? I'm tempted to close sthis now, but I'm really confused, so waiting for more experienced openjdk engineer to confirm
It's not part of OpenJDK. "Performs tasks related to packaging and signing Java and JavaFX applications." https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/javapackager.html May be worth checking if it's part of OpenJFX. I think that's in Fedora now. It's certainly not part of the OpenJDK sources.

I think that's in Fedora now. Just to clarify. OpenJFX is not in Fedora. See bug 1145303.
