The texlive package database is the authoritative source of information.
The file texlive.tlpdb is included in the texlive-bin package, and we’re
using it in the importer.  I also added (@ (guix import texlive)
files-differ?), which compares a texlive package’s output directory with
the files that the texlive.tlpdb lists for that package.

You can also use it to check what package should provide a certain file.
I do this all the time to figure out if our existing packages are
incomplete or if we’re just missing a package.
