It’s not a problem of the build system. The build system works fine for
ins/dtx files.
This is a problem with the TeX Live distribution. It does not consist
of packages for the most part, but represents a directory tree that
is meant to be unpacked in place.
In some cases we use upstream packages as in the case of
“texlive-fonts-lm”, which provides a zip file that can be unpacked into
a texmf-dist tree. In other cases all we can do is take the TeX Live
upstream sources from various SVN directories.
It sucks, but I don’t see how you could do much better given this
distribution method.
