[Cc Ricardo since you wrote the texlive importer]
In section "9.5 Invoking ‘guix import’" in the manual, there are two
examples of runnning the ‘texlive’ importer, but both of them result in
incomplete package definitions.

(description
"A simple package which provides an \\ifxetex conditional, so that other code can determine that it is running under XeTeX. The package requires the etexe-TeX extensions to the TeX primitive set. Please note, that ifxetex is now part of iftexiftex.")

When looking at the CTAN page for ‘ifxetex’[1], it says that the source
in located in /macros/generic/iftex, but I tried a few paths for the
archive, and they all result in an incomplete package (same warning as
above).
* /macros/generic/iftex
* macros/generic/iftex
* /macros/generic/iftex/ifxetex
* macros/generic/iftex/ifxetex
In general, I have rarely been able to successfully import a CTAN
package using the texlive importer, without the ‘source’ field missing,
perhaps it needs an update?
