Ah, I see. I was struggling to see how this would help us in this case,
so I looked up “palatino” in the texlive.tlpdb.
We can find this snippet in the texlive.tlpdb (which is part of the
texlive-bin package):

This tells us what files are installed (“runfiles”) and it shows us that
there is no source file we can use to generate them (there is no
“srcfiles”). Compare that to 12many, for example:

shortdesc Generalising mathematical index sets
longdesc In the discrete branches of mathematics and the computer
longdesc sciences, it will only take some seconds before you're faced
longdesc with a set like {1,...,m}. Some people write $1\ldotp\ldotp m$,
longdesc others $\{j:1\leq j\leq m\}$, and the journal you're submitting
longdesc to might want something else entirely. The 12many package
longdesc provides an interface that makes changing from one to another a
longdesc one-line change.

Here we do have “srcfiles” and we can use those to generate
“12many.sty”. I think this would be a good source of information for
the importer. We just need to be smart about handling the “srcfiles”
field so that it won’t result in too large downloads from SVN
(e.g. parent directory) or too many small svn-fetch origins (one origin
per file).
