When creating a geoprocessing package using the 'Feature Class to Feature Class' tool, the resulting package includes a copy of the entire source database instead of the targeted feature class.

Known Limit
After review by the development team, it has been determined that this issue is related to a known limitation with the software that lies outside of Esri's control. The issue's Additional Information section may contain further explanation.
Additional Information
All inputs and outputs required for a tool will be packaged.
When creating GPKs and using tools that make use of a workspace/folder parameter, tools like Feature Class to Feature Class, Create Table, Create Featureclass, etc, copying the folder contents of the input parameter is expected.
If you don't want to copy the contents of the folder/workspace, either start with an empty workspace, or use a different tool like Copy Features. (Copy features uses a input feature parameter, not a workspace and provides essentially the same result).
