[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.

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?

In the future please use the X-Debbugs-Cc header instead of Cc, so
that Debbugs can put me on Cc *after* it has assigned a bug
number.

Correct. It’s not useful at this point. I have worked on and off
again on a new TeX Live importer, but it’s not quite ready yet.
I’ll try to resume work on it soon.

Ah, I didn’t know about that.
