What I meant is that the .sty is always already generated in the SVN repo. Can you find a counter-example? > We have both kinds of packages in tex.scm.

Hmm, maybe you are right and I'm wrong about this. TeXlive has many formats: mf (source), afm, tfm, type1, several bitmap formats... I'm a bit suspicious about some fonts. Lots of them are under "other-free", while some are under "unknown". Hmm... Well, let's take care about this later.
