Contract undefined not found with npx oz deploy of @openzeppelin/contracts-ethereum-package/StandaloneERC20

[abcoathup]

Deploying @openzeppelin/contracts-ethereum-package with OpenZeppelin CLI 2.8 RC2 gives error Contract undefined not found for both a development network and to a public testnet.

Works with OpenZeppelin CLI 2.71 using oz create.

node v10.19.0
npm 6.13.7
oz 2.8.0-rc.2
os: Windows 10 WSL

Setup

$ npx oz init
$ npm i @openzeppelin/cli@rc
$ npx oz link @openzeppelin/contracts-ethereum-package

Deploy (fails)

$ npx oz deploy
Nothing to compile, all contracts are up to date.

This seems like an error in oz create in 2.8 RC as well.
